We got a lot of fan response from the first one and a considerable amount of critical response and one of the things we heard was, ‘Make sure the next one deals with modern-day issues.’ We’re trying to keep it as up-to-date and as reflective of what’s going on today as possible. So that’s one thing, to make it reflect the things that we are all dealing with today.
I wish they would ignore "fan" advice and just be clever and make good movies.

No, we'll get Kirk's love interest dying of some curable disease because she doesn't have health insurance, and some black messiah giving them technology to heal everyone.
