Like Benedict Cumberbatch, Joseph Gatt, who played Grundroth in
Thor is ecstatic at his casting in the
Star Trek sequel, which he expressed via an email he sent to
TrekMovie.com:
What I can say, is that, I grew up reading Marvel comics, watching Star Trek on TV and in the theaters, and wanting to be Han Solo… so, firstly becoming part of the Marvel universe in "Thor" was amazing… Then, Joining the voice cast of "Star wars: The Old Republic" as a Sith Lord was unbelievable… NOW, becoming part of the Star Trek universe!?!? Just beyond the wildest dreams of a kid from Ladbroke Grove in London! I’m truly blessed and living my dream!
Although it not been revealed who exactly Cumberbatch and Gatt will be playing, there is lots of Internet speculation Gatt will be playing a henchman working for Cumberbatch's character who in turn has been speculated to be anyone from Trelane, Harry Mudd to a Talosian.
