Joe Taslim, the star of Fast and Furious 6 and The Raid: Redemption, and Kingsman: The Secret Service's Sofia Boutella are the latest names to be added to the cast list of the forthcoming Star Trek Beyond. No details about the roles the two will play have been released as yet, but if reports that Taslim will be playing closely alongside Idris Elba's rumoured lead baddie are correct, then it's safe to say the martial arts star may not be Kirk and co's best buddy. The movie is currently shooting in Vancouver, with location shoots in Dubai scheduled for September this year.
