Star Trek: Picard dropped a fairly large reveal about Ed Speleers’ Jack Crusher in Episode 2 and confirmed the twist that was teased within the Season 3 premiere. Jack Crusher is the love baby of Beverly Crusher and Jean-Luc Picard, which makes him the half-brother of Wil Wheaton’s Wesley Crusher. CinemaBlend requested Speleers about his “brother,” and the actor had nothing however reward for Wheaton.
I had an opportunity to talk to Ed Speleers just lately and was curious if he talked to Wil Wheaton after taking the function of Jack Crusher. The Star Trek: Picard actor confirmed that he and Wheaton had an opportunity to speak after his casting, and praised the actor as “Mr. Star Trek.” Speleers mentioned:
He’s fairly glad in regards to the state of affairs…we had an excellent chat. That man is aware of Star Trek inside out, again to entrance. He’s Mr. Star Trek in a means, isn’t he? What a beautiful, pretty human.
Ed Speleers confirmed that Wil Wheaton was excited in regards to the information that Wesley has a brother, even when they allegedly will not meet in Star Trek: Picard Season 3. Wheaton confirmed after returning as Wesley in Season 2 that he would not be part of the ultimate season, and now it looks as if that occurred as a result of the season wished to give attention to one other baby of Beverly Crusher.
Wil Wheaton is not bitter about that, so far as Ed Speleers can inform. The actor informed me that they’ve already mentioned the concept of sharing a scene collectively, and it appears like each are on board to make it occur:
We joked in regards to the thought of the 2 of them having a scene collectively in the future, which could possibly be fairly enjoyable.
Who would not like to see Traveler Wesley Crusher rub shoulders with Jack Crusher? Between Wesley’s supernatural powers and Jack Crusher being the son of one in all Starfleet’s most interesting officers, there’s not a pressure on this planet that would stand in opposition to them. Hell, they might most likely tackle the Borg and Romulans on the similar time.
In all seriousness, I am on board with the concept of extra adventures that includes Wil Wheaton and Ed Speleers’ characters, although there is a query of the way it may occur. Star Trek: Picard is ending, and there are already a few reveals in growth ready to take its place on a packed schedule of upcoming Trek reveals. Positive, it is potential that they might pop up collectively on Decrease Decks or Prodigy for a one-off journey, however I believe followers would possibly need greater than one thing akin to Wesley’s return scene in Picard.
It is all hypothesis for now, however fortunately, Ed Speleers has already put it out within the universe that he desires to return for future spinoffs, and Wil Wheaton’s re-introduction as Wesley could make him truthful sport for future appearances. Now it is on the powers that be to make one thing occur and provides followers the brother duo spinoff they by no means knew they wished earlier than. Simply think about these two in their very own present, and what they might accomplish in the event that they crossed paths!
Star Trek: Picard streams new episodes for these with a Paramount+ subscription on Thursdays. Tune in to see what is likely to be the ultimate journey for the TNG crew and a becoming sendoff for among the franchise’s finest characters.
