Product Description

1975 captain kirk star trek mask.

This Captain Kirk Mask is a much sought after collector's piece!

As many of you may know, the mask that Michael Myers wears in the 1978 John Carpenter film, Halloween , was William Shatner's face.

The production crew was sent out to find a mask as a disguise and came back with the 1975 Don Post  Captain Kirk Mask .

It was then painted white, along with other enhancements, to create the Michael Myers terrifying look.

More Interesting Facts:

During the filming of Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers , " it was considered that the customized 1975 m ask be reused for this film. However, the mask was long gone and a new one was purchased from a local costume shop. The producers wanted to test and see what it would look like without the edits.

The school scene was filmed and when reviewing, the producers did not like how the mask turned out. It was allegedly customized again but did not live up to the original. The producers felt it was too old and went for a new mask.

Some scenes had to be re-shot with the new mask and the only scene the old mask was left in was when Loomis was thrown through a glass door. Michael then comes up behind him and the unaltered face and blonde hair is visible."

Alan B McElroy, 2006, Halloween 4: The Return Of Michael Myers Commentary (DVD), Anchor Bay Entertainment.

Beam down this Halloween with the  1975 Captain Kirk Star Trek Mask or one might want to consider converting it to make the ultimate motion picture serial killer!

Breaking news, william shatner rips ‘halloween’ for using captain kirk mask: ‘are they kidding’.

• View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Die-hard fans of the scary cult slasher franchise “Halloween” know that killer Michael Myers’ mask was actually a Captain Kirk mask stretched out and painted white .

But what does the real Capt. Kirk think about it?

William Shatner portrayed the space commander in the 1966 television series “Star Trek” and he recently revealed his initial reaction to the film series using his face.

In an interview with Jake Hamilton on his YouTube channel, “Jake’s Takes,” Shatner, 90, recalled his reaction when someone told him about the serial killer mask. “I thought, ‘Is that a joke? Are they kidding?’” Shatner quipped.

He explained, “I recognized it as the death mask they had made for me.” The face made its debut in the first film of the “Halloween” series back in 1978.

“They made a mask of my face on ‘Star Trek’ out of clay so I would not have to be available for the prosthetics they would have to put on my face to look old or evil or whatever it was they were making me look like,” Shatner said. “So somewhere along the line, someone got that mask and made a mask of it for [the holiday] Halloween.”

According to Netflix’s “The Movies That Made Us” docuseries, “Halloween” production designer and editor Tommy Lee Wallace went to a magic shop on Hollywood Boulevard in an attempt to find a creepy, serial killer-looking mask that would be perfect for the movie.

“Up on the shelves were these full face masks of Richard Nixon, and down at the end was Mr. Spock. And right next to it was this blank face Capt. Kirk,” Wallace said on the show.

For the Kirk mask, Wallace cut out the eyeholes to make them bigger, removed the eyebrows and sideburns, painted the face a pale, ghostly white and darkened the hair.

The newest installment of the franchise, titled “Halloween Kills,” is currently in theaters and streaming on Peacock. Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her family must fight Michael’s obsession to kill her and cause chaos in the small town of Haddonfield again.

Was Michael Myers' Halloween Mask William Shatner's Face?

A surprising connection between the final frontier and a fan-favorite villain

StarTrek.com

Pretty much everyone knows the Halloween franchise's connection to Star Trek connection: The mask Michael Myers , the infamous Halloween villain, wears throughout the series is William Shatner's face.

It had been rumored for decades that the mask the killer Michael Myers wore in the Halloween films was in fact based on Shatner's face. Not just his face, but specifically a Captain Kirk death mask created for Star Trek . As it turns out, the anecdote is very true.

Rick Sternbach, an illustrator/designer on Star Trek: The Motion Picture, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Nemesis posted the following on his Facebook page a few years back, writing:

"There are a number of historical threads through various production people over the years that validate that; I've got one of those threads here (I've told this story once or twice before). I was hired as an illustrator on Halloween 2 in 1981, working for production designer J. Michael Riva. In a supply cabinet at Pumpkin Pie Productions, we had one mask left from the original Halloween, and no idea where to get any others for the sequel. It appeared that we'd need to go check out some of the toys stores and such, but I noticed that there was some wording molded into the neck area. There was a model number, and 'Don Post Studios.' I made a call, read off the model number, and the word came back 'It's our Captain Kirk mask.' I asked if we could buy a number of them, and was told 'We'll give you a box, just give us credit.' With that, I turned the official dealings over to the higher-ups. Brush with greatness."

As if that weren't enough to confirm that Shatner's mug indeed became that of the masked serial killer, here's an old video we found of Shatner himself discussing it — and even revealing that he went trick or treating with his daughters one Halloween wearing a Michael Myers mask.

Terrifying, right?

William Shatner thought it was a joke when somebody told him 'Halloween' uses a mask of his face for Michael Myers

• William Shatner thought it was a joke when he learned " Halloween " used a mask of his face.
• "I don't remember the exact moment but I thought, 'Is that a joke? Are they kidding?'" he said.
• The production designer previously said he got a Captain Kirk mask when looking for something scary.

William Shatner said he thought it was a joke when he first found out that Michael Myers uses an altered Captain Kirk mask in the "Halloween" movies .

The " Star Trek " actor opened up about involuntarily becoming a part of the iconic slasher franchise in a September chat with Jake Hamilton of the YouTube account "Jake's Take."

"I don't remember the exact moment but I thought, 'Is that a joke? Are they kidding?'" Shatner said about finding out that Michael actually wears a mask of Shatner's face while murdering everyone in sight. 

Shatner explained that he never saw " Halloween " (1978) but he noticed the mask in a picture and recognized it as "the death mask" that "Star Trek" producers made of his face so that Shatner "wouldn't have to be available for the prosthetics that they would put on my face to look old or evil" on the show.

"So, that mask has existed in ' Star Trek .' Somewhere along the line, someone got that mask and made a mask of it for Halloween," Shatner continued.

He added that, as far as he knows, the director of the original " Halloween " film wanted a mask for the movie and someone from production bought the Captain Kirk mask at a Halloween store. As a result, Shatner's face ended up becoming the disguise Michael uses to hide his identity while wreaking havoc on Haddonfield. 

"That's the story I know, how true it is — I don't know," Shatner clarified.

Shatner played Captain Kirk on three seasons of the TV show " Star Trek: The Original Series " between 1966 and 1969, and in seven film sequels released between 1979 and 1994.

More recently, 90-year-old Shatner became the oldest person in space after he made a successful round trip to outer space and back on Friday on board a Blue Origin flight . 

The version of the story that the actor shared on "Jake's Takes" about how his face became a part of Michael's legacy lines up with what " Halloween " production designer and editor Lee Wallace revealed in a 2019 episode of the Netflix docuseries "The Movies That Made Us."

According to the New York Post , Wallace explained in the documentary that he bought the Captain Kirk mask at a store on Hollywood Boulevard while looking for something scary for Michael to wear in the movie. 

Wallace then tweaked the mask slightly for " Halloween " by making the eye holes bigger, dying the hair darker, and painting the face white. And that's how the creepy mask we all know and love was created.

'Star Trek': Legendary Facts About The Iconic Series That Even The Biggest Fans May Not Know

Posted: May 29, 2024 | Last updated: May 31, 2024

Space, the final frontier. For over three decades, Star Trek has captivated audiences with its bold exploration of the unknown.

From the charismatic Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner, to the logical Spock, portrayed by Leonard Nimoy, the original series ran from 1966 to 1969, sparking a devoted following of 'Trekkies' who gather at conventions to celebrate their beloved franchise. Keep reading to learn some little-known facts about the beloved franchise.

Star Trek Had A Captain Before Kirk

The original pilot for Star Trek , featuring Captain Christopher Pike, was rejected by NBC.

Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of Spock was the only character retained for the second pilot, which introduced Captain Kirk, with William Shatner as the lead role. Jeffrey Hunter played the role of Pike in the initial pilot but did not continue with the series.

Spock Almost Had Red Skin

Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek , envisioned Spock as a Martian with red skin.

However, due to the lack of color TVs at the show's inception and the hassle of applying red makeup to Leonard Nimoy's skin in every episode, this idea was deemed more trouble than it was worth.

The Fanbase Didn't Arrive Until After The Show Ended

While Star Trek aired its first episode in 1966, the fanbase and Trekkies people know today didn't really show up until after the series ended in 1969.

In fact, it wasn't until the 1970s and the television reruns of the show that people began to become interested in the adventures of Spock, Captain Kurt, and the rest of the crew on the USS Enterprise .

Martin Luther King Jr. Was A Trekky And Convinced Nichols To Stay

Nichelle Nichols, who played Lt. Uhura on Star Trek, rescinded her decision to depart after season one. A persuasive conversation with Martin Luther King Jr., a Trekky himself, swayed her.

The First Space Shuttle Was Inspired By Star Trek

The first US Space Shuttle Enterprise was named after the fictional starship from Star Trek and its widespread popularity, the USS Enterprise . The show's passionate fan base, which included NASA engineers, inspired the agency to choose the name.

Enterprise symbolized the spirit of exploration and innovation, capturing the imagination of both science fiction enthusiasts and space professionals.

Bones' Line "I'm a doctor, not a..." Was From A 1933 Movie

The line "I'm a doctor, not a..." originates from the 1933 film The Kennel Murder Case . It was later popularized in the Star Trek series and became a recurring catchphrase uttered by Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, who would say the line when he was frustrated about being asked to do more than he could.

The line was often completed with different endings, emphasizing the doctor's dedication to his medical profession.

Teleporting Was Cheaper To Film Than Spaceships Landing

In the original Star Trek series, the ingenious use of teleportation during filming proved to be a cost-effective solution to showcase the futuristic technology of spaceships.

With a limited budget, the production team creatively employed teleportation to depict crew members effortlessly moving between locations, giving the illusion of seamless transportation across the galaxy.

Spock Was Not Originally Star Trek's "Number One"

The producers of Star Trek opted to progress with Spock instead of Number One after the pilot. They admired Spock's distinctive ears and eyebrows, which lent a more devilish appearance to the series.

Although it was not easy, their choice eventually set the stage for Spock's enduring presence and the show's subsequent success.

Wardrobe: Miniskirts And Green Shirts

Originally, NBC had wanted the female cast members of Star Trek to don miniskirts, believing it would enhance the show's appeal.

The network's suggestion was ultimately abandoned. Interestingly, the gold shirts the male characters wore were green, but due to the television's color rendering, they appeared gold to the viewers.

Shatner Became Petty With Nimoy

Off camera, William Shatner reportedly clashed with co-star Leonard Nimoy. Shatner's concern stemmed from not wanting other characters to appear more intelligent than Captain Kirk, leading him to steal Nimoy's lines occasionally.

This alleged rivalry behind the scenes added tension to their on-screen dynamic.

Inside Jokes Were Built Into The Set

Star Trek's original series set harbored delightful inside jokes cherished by the cast. Among them, the tubes on the ship flaunted inscriptions like "GNDN" with random numbers, teasingly translating to "Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing."

This witty jest added a touch of amusement to the futuristic surroundings they inhabited and was included in future iterations of the series.

Communicators On Star Trek Influenced The Flip Phone

The iconic communicators featured on Star Trek served as a source of inspiration for the design and technology behind flip cell phones.

The first flip phone, the Motorola StarTAC, was introduced in 1996 by Motorola in the United States. Its sleek, compact form factor and ability to flip open and close echoed the futuristic communication devices seen in the beloved science fiction series.

Nimoy Invented The Vulcan Nerve Pinch

Leonard Nimoy was a method actor before his role as Spock in the TV series. Nimoy is credited with inventing the Vulcan grip. This maneuver, performed by joining the fingers in a specific pattern and applying pressure to the neck, swiftly immobilized opponents.

Affectionately dubbed the "Vulcan nerve pinch," it became a trademark move synonymous with Spock's logical and formidable nature.

Shatner And Nimoy Were Rivals Turned Friends

Actors Shatner and Nimoy, once competitive, formed a unique bond while performing together on screen. They frequently collaborated at Star Trek conventions, delighting fans in character. However, Shatner privately voiced his unease over Spock's popularity overshadowing Kirk.

Despite this, their enduring friendship triumphed, showcasing the depth of their connection beyond on-screen rivalry.

Paramount Tried To Deep-Space Star Trek

After producing the original Star Trek series, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz's production company sold it to Paramount. The company then attempted to sell it to Roddenberry, the show's creator, who couldn't afford it, compelling them to retain ownership.

Massive financial losses and a scarcity of syndication-worthy shows prompted their desire to sell the rights.

Kirk Never Asked Scotty To Beam Him Up

The iconic phrase "Beam me up, Scotty" is widely associated with Star Trek , but interestingly, it's never actually spoken in the show. The character referred to as "Scotty" is Montgomery Scott, the skilled chief engineer of the USS Enterprise, played by James Doohan.

The phrase has become a popular cultural reference nonetheless and has been used in subsequent Star Trek films.

Shatner's Superiority Complex Was Built Into The Script

William Shatner's commanding presence on set was accompanied by special considerations that ensured his prominence. With a guaranteed abundance of lines, his dialogue took precedence even when others were cut.

The hierarchy Shatner roamed the set with extended to the credits, granting him a higher placement, which added a palpable tension among the cast.

Nimoy's Dad Offered "Spock Haircuts"

The immense popularity of the show Star Trek transcended the screen, reaching Leonard Nimoy's own father, a barber.

In his bustling barber shop, he delighted customers, often fans of the series, by offering them the opportunity to sport a haircut reminiscent of the iconic Spock. It was a testament to the show's lasting cultural impact.

Nimoy Created The Spock Salute

The origin of Spock's iconic salute can be traced to Leonard Nimoy's creative inspiration. Drawing from his Jewish heritage, Nimoy crafted the distinctive gesture by adapting the hand sign used in a sacred Hebrew blessing.

The open hand, with fingers separated in a "V" shape, became synonymous with Vulcan culture and a beloved symbol for Star Trek fans worldwide.

Shatner Could Not Do The Vulkan Salute

William Shatner, despite his fame as a versatile actor, faced a physical challenge when it came to executing the iconic Spock salute. He couldn't do it.

Stagehands resorted to clever tricks, using fishing lines to carefully tie his fingers apart, ensuring the desired hand gesture. This ingenious solution enabled Shatner to flawlessly showcase the Vulcan salute.

Nimoy Thought He Was Spock

Leonard Nimoy, the brilliant mind behind the creation of Spock, received a modest payment of $2,000 per episode for his iconic portrayal. Despite the show's immense success, he yearned for greater financial recognition.

Dealing with newfound fame was a daunting challenge for the talented actor. Nimoy preferred to stay in character even when not on screen. Shatner accused Nimoy of being Spock more than his natural self.

Spock Was Initially Supposed To Be Female

Initially intended to be female, Spock's character changed significantly before the show's executives decided to make the logical Vulcan a male.

This alteration unknowingly would shape the beloved character we now know and remember fondly, portrayed by Leonard Nimoy, who brought intelligence, stoicism, and a unique perspective to the Star Trek universe.

Nimoy And Shatner Suffered Tinnitus From Explosions

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner have battled with persistent Tinnitus, a condition characterized by ringing in the ears, stemming from the explosive effects on set. The duo was standing too close to an explosion one day during filming, which caused their affliction.

Shatner resorted to utilizing a white noise-emitting device as a means to alleviate the issue.

Scotty Was A Soldier Off Set

James Doohan, who portrayed "Scotty" in the Star Trek series, was a former soldier. He served in the Canadian military as a member of the Royal Canadian Artillery during World War II.

Doohan valiantly fought in several major battles, including the D-Day invasion.

Takei And Shatner Clashed Off Screen

Star Trek co-star George Takei had a widely publicized feud with William Shatner. Takei famously remarked that Shatner exhibited an attitude of superiority, acting as if he was larger than the show itself.

This dynamic created tension between Takei, Shatner, and other cast members during their time in the series. According to Takei, "We all had problems with Bill on the set."

Every Stardate Announced Was Completely Random

The signature Stardate, spoken at the start of each Star Trek episode, held a unique charm. Fans quickly noticed that the numbers had no discernible sequence or pattern.

They soon realized what seemingly were arbitrary figures actually were made up, yet they embraced them as a beloved part of the show's immersive futuristic setting.

DeForest Kelley "Bones" Auditioned For Spock Initially

DeForest Kelley, known for his portrayal of the doctor in Star Trek , initially auditioned for the role of Spock but was rejected. However, he was later cast as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, the ship's compassionate and often grumpy physician.

His memorable performance made him an integral part of the beloved sci-fi series.

Spock Was Supposed To Kiss Uhura, Not Captain Kirk

The kiss between Captain Kirk and Uhura in Star Trek was first intended to be a kiss between Uhura and Spock. As fans probably remember from watching the episode, that kiss did not happen.

Star Trek Inspired Over 125 Video Games

The original series of Star Trek has served as the inspiration for over 125 video games since 1971. These games have spanned across various gaming platforms, including Atari, Commodore 64, Sega Genesis, PlayStation, and Xbox.

How Kirk Came Back to Life In Star Trek Into Darkness and Why It's a Problem

• Star Trek Into Darkness was controversial due to its misleading marketing about Benedict Cumberbatch playing Khan.
• The film remixed classic Star Trek moments, like Captain Kirk's resurrection using Khan's blood, creating narrative issues.
• The revelation of a potential "death cure" in Starfleet, via Khan's blood, was a major story thread left unresolved.

When creating a new installment of a beloved storytelling universe, whatever story it tells is bound to be controversial to fans. Yet, Star Trek Into Darkness is perhaps the most controversial of the 2010s reboot movies for a number of reasons. However, the biggest problem with the Star Trek Kelvin Timeline is tied to how Captain James T. Kirk came back to life in Into Darkness after dying of radiation exposure.

During the marketing for Star Trek Into Darkness director J.J. Abrams, the cast and anyone involved swore on a stack of Starfleet manuals that Benedict Cumberbatch was not playing classic villain Khan. This was a lie, which Abrams admitted was a mistake and it hurt the film. Yet, even if they'd been upfront about what they were trying to do, the whole story would've still been problematic and not just because of casting. The film "remixed" one of the classic Star Trek moments earned after decades of stories. Beyond the impact on the viewer, the way Doctor McCoy is able to revive Captain Kirk from death created a massive problem the successive film simply never mentions again. Khan's blood is, effectively, a "cure" for death.

Why It Was a Mistake to Try to Revisit The Wrath of Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness

The new star trek series could erase the kelvin timeline, but shouldn't.

Since the Kelvin Timeline movies debuted, some Star Trek fans want them erased from canon, and the Paramount+ series could do it. But it shouldn't.

Spock's death in The Wrath of Khan is a singular moment in Star Trek and, arguably, cinema. In the docuseries The Center Seat - 55 Years of Star Trek , director Nicholas Meyer talked about shooting that scene and how it brought the crew to tears. The history between Kirk and Spock, as well as William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy in those roles, gave it a poignancy that can't be matched or imitated . The two characters -- who mean so much to fans and each other -- are separated by a simple pane of glass, creating a heartbreaking closeness and distance in those final moments. The scene in Star Trek Into Darkness , which swaps Kirk and Spock, has none of that.

When filming that scene, legendary Star Trek producer Harve Bennett realized they needed an "out" for Spock. On that day, Leonard Nimoy improvised the mind-meld with an unconscious Doctor McCoy, saying the word "Remember." They knew they needed a way to bring Spock back from oblivion, and it took two full movies to do it: The Search for Spock and The Voyage Home . Both the Spock character and Nimoy continued, even appearing briefly in Star Trek Into Darkness to offer some sage advice to his younger self. Yet, this universe and these versions of the characters had neither the history nor the narrative space to do justice to their version of this moment .

Fans and critics alike can quibble about whether Khan should've been used in the story or not. In fact, Khan is barely a villain in the movie, with Admiral Alexander Marcus as the true "heavy" of the film. The inclusion of Khan , and this clunky remix of Spock's death, undercut what was a relevant and, arguably, powerful story about American foreign policy over the past 30 years like Star Trek: The Original Series often did with the politics and conflicts of its day. Like with the prescient political allegory in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace and Star Wars prequels, fans missed all that. Only rather than being too far afield from what they expected, Star Trek Into Darkness tried to recapture the magic of one of the universe's best stories of old.

Star Trek Into Darkness Used Khan's Super Blood to Bring Kirk Back to Life

Star trek into darkness is a better movie than fans remember.

From the Khan deception to a corrupt Starfleet, Star Trek Into Darkness was a controversial movie, but a decade later, it's better than fans remember.

While the Star Trek films of the past took two sequels to bring back the version of Spock audiences recognized, the Kelvin Timeline had no such luxury. Kirk needed to be alive and back in command of the USS Enterprise when credits rolled. In fact, the film ends with the beginning of the "five-year mission" the ship was on in Star Trek: The Original Series . Spock was revived thanks to "the Genesis Device" which created life on dead planets. Kirk was revived by Khan's genetically-augmented blood which didn't create life, but it did bring one of Star Trek 's fuzzy little tribbles back from the dead .

In the scene in which Kirk regains consciousness -- apparently two full weeks after Khan's defeat -- McCoy mentions he was "barely dead." Earlier, he places Kirk's body in a cryo-tube to "preserve brain function." This suggests that without this device, Kirk's death would've been more permanent, Khan's "super-blood" notwithstanding. Beyond this, the characters don't turn to Star Trek 's signature "technobabble" used to explain the magical, impossible things they do with their future technology. How Khan's blood reanimated the tribble, or Kirk for that matter , is left to viewers' imaginations.

Similarly, Into Darkness doesn't reveal what happens to Khan or his genetically augmented "family" in the cryo-tubes. There is a single scene of them all laid out in a dark, sealed room, reminiscent of the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark . While this is something of a story problem, it also creates an in-universe problem that pushes at the limits of scientific ethics and how far these scientists of the future can go to preserve life . After all, that is one of the central missions of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets. Khan's blood, even if only in certain cases, is a cure for death.

Has Starfleet Found a Way to Reverse Death in the Kelvin Timeline?

Every enterprise captain in star trek, ranked.

There is no ship more venerated in Star Trek than the Enterprise, and many officers have served as captain, but how do they rank against each other?

In the film, McCoy is insistent that it has to be Khan whose blood is used to bring Kirk back. Despite the fact there are more than ten dozen other genetic augments in cryo-tubes on the ship. Again, this is not explained, but it's easy to surmise why it had to be Khan. In Star Trek: Enterprise , other genetic augments like Khan appeared in a story, showing not all of them were created equal .

As a prequel, Enterprise is technically part of the Kelvin Timeline , too. With Kirk's life on the line and time being of the essence, McCoy is insistent on using Khan's blood to synthesize his death cure simply because he knows it will work. But what about after the events of Star Trek Into Darkness ? Unless Starfleet Medical would be able to synthesize McCoy's cure without more of Khan's blood, he and any augments with this specific modification could reverse countless unnecessary deaths .

Anyone who succumbs to radiation poisoning or similar maladies could be revived and healed with a simple infusion, provided they were frozen before brain function ceased. While the film makes it clear that using Khan and his fellow augments as instruments of death is evil, would it be so bad if their blood was used to save lives? Since Khan and his fellow augments simply want to live their lives in peace, they might even consent to allowing Starfleet to "use" them to create a bulwark against death.

Should Star Trek Revisit Into Darkness in the Final Kelvin Timeline Movie?

Everything we know about michelle yeoh's upcoming star trek movie.

Star Trek: Section 31 is the next film in the Star Trek franchise, though information is scarce. Here's what's known about Michelle Yeoh's new movie.

Star Trek Beyond didn't bring up Khan, his super-blood or McCoy's death cure, even though they could've used it. With a fourth and final Kelvin Timeline film on the horizon, should this topic be broached again? At the very least, storytellers could hand-wave it away like Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker did with "the Holdo Maneuver" from Star Wars: The Last Jedi . With a few lines of technobabble, McCoy or someone else could explain Kirk's resurrection was a fluke and successive attempts to resurrect the recently dead had failed.

It's been almost ten years since this cast joined together to make a Star Trek film. The tragic passing of Chekov actor Anton Yelchin only adds to the reasons never to mention this again. Still, without sufficiently addressing McCoy's serum that resurrected Kirk in Into Darkness , the question of whether Starfleet is sitting on a "death cure" is a very large story thread left dangling. For all the questionable decisions made during the making of and release of Star Trek Into Darkness , this is perhaps the biggest mistake.

Star Trek Into Darkness is available to own on DVD, Blu-ray, digital and streams on Paramount+ .
