Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth are putting the future of Star Trek 4 in jeopardy

Unlike the lucrative DC/Marvel superhero business, Paramount's Star Trek franchise appears to have budget restrictions and is facing pay cuts
PUBLISHED AUG 11, 2018

Both JJ Abrams and Paramount Pictures seemed to have ambitious plans for the next instalment of the Star Trek franchise. However, those ambitions are now facing uncertain future with Hollywood stars Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth walking away from Star Trek 4. 

The bone of contention happens to be the salary negotiations. Given Pine and Hemsworth's A-lister status in the industry at the moment — Pine stars in a leading role in the upcoming Wonder Woman movie while Hemsworth has been carrying the mantle of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for some time now — it is being reported that the stars and the studio are unable to reach an agreement over payments.
