James McAvoy has revealed that he had wanted to play a younger version of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a proposed Star Trek television series. The actor pitched a standalone season exploring Picard's early years commanding the USS Stargazer, but logistical issues ultimately prevented the project from moving forward.
Speaking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, McAvoy revealed that his proposed series, titled Mutiny on the Stargazer, came close to becoming a reality. Despite the project never progressing, the actor admitted that he still thinks about the story he wanted to tell. 'I just go to bed and think about it at night,' McAvoy said, reflecting on the unrealised project.
