Star Trek Dodged A Bullet By Abandoning The Reboot’s First Spock Casting
Of course, Adrien Brody’s status as an actor speaks for itself. His role in The Pianist earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor, and through the ’00s, he was one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. While that celebrity would have lent the reboot some added box office appeal, if he had been cast for the Kelvin Timeline’s Spock, he would have been the biggest actor in Star Trek‘s rebooted cast. This may not seem important, but the idea that one member of the cast might stand apart from the rest would have undermined the film.
Had an actor of Brody’s caliber appeared alongside the likes of Simon Pegg (best known for his roles in British comedies) and rising stars Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana (still relatively unknown at the time), he would have naturally taken center stage. Part of what made Star Trek‘s Kelvin Timeline work was the way in which it recaptured the dynamic of Star Trek: The Original Series while reimagining its story. No matter how talented an actor he is, Brody’s presence would have derailed the dynamic of Star Trek‘s more youthful Kelvin Timeline cast.
Although Adrien Brody as Spock may have seemed a logical choice, Quinto’s ultimate casting proved to be a wise decision. The actor was able to make the role feel fresh, adding his own take to the iconic character’s history with a nuanced performance alongside the reboot’s ensemble cast. Adrien Brody may have been talented enough to win an Oscar, but Star Trek needed something different, and the franchise dodged a bullet by casting Quinto instead.
