Star Trek Into Darkness actor Joe Gatt revealed today that his cybernetic alter ego, Science Officer 0718, will not be part of the returning Enterprise crew in STAR TREK BEYOND.

Our friend Jim Moorhouse (aka @EnterpriseExtra) reported live from this week’s Creation Entertainment Star Trek Convention tonight, where Gatt spoke on stage about how his planned appearance in BEYOND didn’t make the final story.

The bad news? He just confirmed he will not be in #StarTrek Beyond. Bummer! Said he had fittings and was in the plans, but got a call… — Enterprise Extra (@EnterpriseExtra) August 8, 2015

…before shooting started that told him a major revision meant Science Officer 0718 was no longer in the plans. #MassiveBummer @MeetJoeGatt — Enterprise Extra (@EnterpriseExtra) August 8, 2015

The “major revision” Gatt referenced is likely the now-discarded script written by Roberto Orci, Patrick McKay, and J.D. Payne, which was tossed after the trio left the project and Simon Pegg took over the story (with Doug Jung).

The ongoing Star Trek comic series explored the artificial being’s origin story in last year’s two-part I, Enterprise tale — which may now be the last chapter of his story.
