So we speculated that it was due to having a high school aged Peter Parker, and 'homecoming' as a nod at that seminal event in a teenager's life (and would likely be a double entendre, as the real homecoming would be something far more life and/or Marvel Cinematic Universe changing.) But this felt pretty thin,...

In this new Star Trek Beyond feaurette, we get to hear Idris Elba's thoughts on Krall, the film's big bad that Elba plays.

"When you meet him you go, oh, there's our bad guy," but as director Justin Lin explains, Krall's there not only to torment Kirk and the crew, but he's got a very valid philosophy on why he disagrees with the Federation and their mandate...
