He proved he could get a wide audience on board with a beloved franchise with Star Trek, but failed to follow up with a sequel (i.e. Into Darkness). It\’s best left to a more unique director who Disney expects to deliver a familiar, if darker and more nuanced Ep. VIII, a la The Empire Strikes Back.
