In a video interview with Vanity Fair released in September — but just noticed today, thanks to one of our readers (thanks Anita!) — STAR TREK BEYOND guest star Idris Elba let slip some details about his role in the upcoming film.
In this film I’m doing now, ‘Star Trek,’ I’m doing like a two-hour prosthetic.
While the exact nature of Elba’s part in next year’s movie still remains a mystery, many have speculated that he’s been tapped to represent the Klingon Empire in BEYOND, though writer Simon Pegg shot that theory down quickly back in the spring.
Heavy prosthetic makeup would explain, however, why the usually bearded actor was seen at September’s Dubai press conference uncharacteristically clean-shaven: can’t blend those appliances into human skin with whiskers in the way.
