Anson Mount, who plays Captain Pike, reveals that he has seen the first three episodes of StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds and he is very happy so far.
Anson Mount reveals that he has seen the first three episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and he is very happy so far. Mount portrays Christopher Pike, the second captain of the USS Enterprise, who made his debut in Star Trek: Discovery. The upcoming Paramount+ series details Pike's time as captain before the events of the original 1966 television series.
The predecessor to Captain James Kirk , Pike was originally framed as the main character of Star Trek: The Original Series' unaired 1965 pilot,"The Cage," portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter. When the pilot episode was rejected, Hunter withdrew from the series, and Pike was replaced by Kirk.
"I don’t like to see it until it’s all put together and [my wife and I] have seen the first three so far. And I’m really happy with it. Very, very happy with it. We’re going to watch episode four tonight, and I have been hearing amazing things. The network, fellow directors, everybody has been saying episode four is really special. So, I’m looking forward to seeing that."
Mount expressed his hope to return to the franchise following his role in Discovery long before Strange New Worlds was confirmed to be in development. Before making a guest appearance at a convention in 2019, Mount enthusiastically expressed his love for the franchise and the character, and how he would like to explore the periods of Pike's life that had yet to be seen.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is unique among Paramount+'s current Star Trek offerings, as it brings the returning legacy characters explored in Star Trek: Discovery closer to The Original Series than before, even casting Paul Wesley as a younger Kirk. As such, Strange New Worlds has to balance telling its own story of Pike's tenure as captain while existing closer to an era that defined much of the franchise as fans know it.
