Matt Shakman was supposed to direct ‘Star Trek 4‘ but parted ways with the project to work on the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe ‘Fantastic 4‘ film.

Chris Pine is expected to return as James T. Kirk in the fourth film. Earlier, he was unhappy about actors being kept in the dark.

“I don’t know anything. In ‘Star Trek‘ land, the actors are usually the last people to find out anything. I know costume designers that have read scripts before the actors,” he said.

Chris Pine added that he and his other co-stars were surprised after knowing that ‘Star Trek 4‘ is still under development.

“I would say it’s frustrating. It doesn’t really foster the greatest sense of partnership, but it’s how it’s always been. I love the character. I love the people. I love the franchise. But to try to change the system in which things are created – I just can’t do it. I don\t have the energy,” he said.
