STAR TREK BEYOND MOVIE POSTERS SERIES

Kleinhenz is the author of 'Nerdism In-Depth,' the Substack newsletter about every major piece of nerd culture. McCoy’s legendary status in Trek mythology all but guarantees a meaty character arc for him in this film. While fans can’t draw any type of relationship between Jaylah and Bones from the simultaneous release of these posters – being two big members of the roster of characters, their being focused upon is more likely more a means of spreading the marketing wealth and not necessarily establishing a correlation between the two – they can rest assured that both characters will nonetheless have their turn in the narrative’s spotlight. Dr. And the fact that both she and Bones have their posters festooned with the telltale swarm of ships that seem to be aligned with the movie’s new baddie ( Idris Elba’s Krall, who remains even more of a mystery than Jaylah) is meant to provide a striking visual design and reminder of the action and danger that the Enterprise crew finds itself in both. Jaylah seems to fit two very big parts of Beyond’s narrative: a kick-ass player capable of carrying large action sequences on her own, while also bringing an irreverent, carefree attitude to the more formal or hierarchy-driven Federation types (her casual sitting in the captain’s chair in the most recent trailer, including draping her foot over the side, stands testament to this). It was already obvious that Boutella’s new alien character was a main component of this latest Trek outing, and her prominence in nearly every single piece of the pre-release marketing only cements this fact.

Leonard McCoy is featured in one of the posters, while series newcomer Sofia Boutella ( Kingsman: The Secret Service, the currently-in-production Mummy) as the mysterious Jaylah takes center stage in the other (see below). Today, the studio has unveiled two more posters that are obviously meant to highlight the film’s action quotient and its (new) cast of characters – two elements that have appealed to summer blockbuster fans over the series’ seven-year run thus far, and which Paramount clearly is banking on happening yet again. Now it’s the general audience’s turn to be courted. This was meant to placate Trekkies that have complained about how far the new movies have strayed from the 50-year-old source material. Paramount has already moved to do just that this past week, first introducing a brand-new Star Trek Beyond trailer meant to address all the perceived wrongs of the movie's first teaser, and then unleashing a wave of posters that drew upon Star Trek’s long-lived big-screen history.
