Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Star Trek : Strange New Worldshas yet to introduce the iconicStar Trek : The Original Seriescharacter , Hikaru Suku , who could be the perfect contender for Lt . Erica Ortegas ( Melissa Navia ) . As a prequel toTOS , Strange New Worldshas introduced updated variation of beloved characters alongside some great new boldness . From Celia Rose Gooding ’s Lt . Nyota Uhura to Christina Chong ’s Lt . La’an Noonien - Singh , Strange New Worldshas done an excellent caper castingStar Trekcharacters both previous and new .

While severalcharacters fromStar Trek : The Original Serieshave already appeared onStrange New Worlds , a couple of the big names have yet to debut . Lt . Hikaru Sulu ( George Takei ) was a fundamental part of Captain James T. Kirk ’s ( William Shatner ) Starship Enterprise crew from the beginningand became most well - known as the ship ’s pilot . Sulu was ab initio conceived as a physicist and wore science division blue , but he shortly took on the role of steerer and begin wearing command gold . Sulu has yet to pop up onStrange New Worlds , but he would make an excellent competitor for Pike ’s USS Enterprise original , Lt . Ortegas .

Why Sulu Would Be The Perfect Rival For Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ortegas

These Two Star Trek Pilots Would Make A Great Rivalry

Mr. Sulu fill many dissimilar roles throughout hisStar Trekcareer , but he was well known for being a extremely skilled buffer . Sulu was also a swashbuckler at heart , and a rivalry with Ortegas would likely lend out his competitive side . Not only is Ortegas one of thebest archetype in Starfleet , butshe also has a competitive flavour and savour performing unmanageable escape maneuvers . Erica has not gotten as much character development onStrange New Worldsas some of her friend aboard the USS Enterprise , and a rivalry with a novel adept pilot would allow the show to explore more about her .

Since his introduction in Star Trek : The Original Series , Hikaru Sulu has had a farsighted and varied career in the franchise , appearing in many projects .

Sulu and Ortegas are both fun lineament , and it would be incredibly entertaining watching them compete with one another to see who is the better starship pilot . From serving on the USS Enterprise to dominate the USS Excelsior , Sulu has one ofStar Trek’smost telling and celebrated life history . Despite this , not much has been expose about his liveliness before the endeavour . Strange New Worldshas the opportunity to dive into Sulu ’s backstory , perhaps show him as the steersman of another Starfleet ship , such as the USS Farragut alongside Lieutenant James T. Kirk ( Paul Wesley ) .

Sulu Is One Of Only 2 Star Trek: TOS Icons Missing From Strange New Worlds

Dr. McCoy Has Not Yet Appeared On Strange New Worlds, Either

Sulu is not the onlyStar Trek : The Original Seriesmain character who has yet to make an appearance onStrange New Worlds . WhilePaul Wesley and Ethan Peck have brought raw life to Kirk and Spock , the third member ofStar Trek’sclassic deuce-ace has not yet been cast . DeForest Kelley stay the onlyactor to have present Dr. Leonard McCoyinStar Trek’sPrime Universe , and it remains to be seen whether the character will pop up onStrange New Worlds .

Karl Urban perfectly substantiate Dr. Leonard McCoy in the Kelvin Timeline of J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies .

AsStrange New Worlds’timeline moves closer and closer to the beginning ofStar Trek : The Original Series , it seems inevitable that Sulu and Bones will appear . Star Trekhas bring out a few soupcon about Dr. McCoy ’s lifetime before the Starship Enterprise , butStrange New Worldscould explore more about his early Starfleet days . Whether or not Sulu or McCoy become major characters onStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , they should make at least a cameo coming into court before the series comes to an end , and Sulu vs. Ortegas would be innate competition .
