Capt.Janeway in 'Star Trek' Sequel?

She hasn’t even seen the new Star Trek film yet, but Kate Mulgrew, who played Captain Kathryn Janeway in the Star Trek: Voyager TV series, already wants in on the rebooted franchise.

Mulgrew's Captain Janeway also had a cameo in the 2002 movie Star Trek: Nemesis. When asked if she would consider a role in the rebooted Trek film series by J.J. Abrams, she responded, "I would, I'd love to return to Janeway. I'd love to do her in a movie." Writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman are currently developing a storyline for the Trek sequel, and in a separate interview, Abrams said any worry about bringing back established characters was negated by the first film’s success.

In this summer’s Star Trek, Leonard Nimoy, who originated the Spock role, played an older, time-traveling version of himself. According to Coventry Telegraph, Mulgrew admitted she has yet to watch Abrams' movie, but seemed to understand that it takes place in a different era from her character. "I understand that both of those young men (Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto) are extraordinary," she said. "I'm sure it's beautifully done. I just want to see it in the comfort of my home."

To be fair, Abrams has said that nothing is off-limits for the sequel, since it’s been established that the new Trek takes

place in an alternate timeline. So maybe we’ll see Janeway or even Jean-Luc Picard, the Enterprise captain from Star Trek: The Next Generation, following Nimoy’s lead? "I think he'd be wise to do it, don't you?" Mulgrew said of Abrams bringing back the two characters. "He should get me and Picard in there. It's a brilliant idea."
