Star Trek fans were very intrigued by the announcement of Alive Eve’s role in Star Trek Into Darkness: Carol Marcus, the mother of Captain Kirk’s son, David, in the original series timeline.
However, Chris Pine has come out to set the record straight in an interview alongside Zachary Quinto by saying that, in the new alternate timeline, things are (almost) strictly professional between the two characters.
There’s some flirting but Carol Marcus is mostly renown for her scientific skills. As for Captain Kirk? “So much happens, the action and plot is so fast, there really isn’t much time for Kirk to do anything but save the crew,” Pine said.
