Anson Mount Reveals His ‘Star Trek’ Plans After ‘Strange New Worlds’ Ends

Nearly a decade into his time in the Star Trek franchise, Anson Mount has helped redefine Starfleet’s heroic Capt. Christopher Pike, first on Discovery and then on Strange New Worlds. But Mount has also navigated the potential wormhole of playing a character whose fate is already written, and one he’s been made aware of in various visions. (As fans of the original series recall, Pike will eventually be paralyzed after saving cadets from delta ray radiation.) That knowledge hasn’t diminished the actor’s journey; far from it.
