Sony/Screen Gems(NEW YORK) — Idris Elba is reportedly playing the bad guy in the upcoming Star Trek film. Although he won’t say much about the role, he did reveal filming is still underway.
“Well, I haven’t wrapped,” he clarified on Friday’s Live with Kelly and Michael. “We’re actually shooting in Dubai.”
Elba also has been spending a lot of time shooting in Vancouver, Canada — “about three months,” he said. “I like it there. It’s been a really amazing experience. I’ve had a good time.”
The British actor explained the latest Star Trek sequel didn’t rely heavily on special effects while filming there: “I can’t tell you too much, but Vancouver is beautiful and we’re utilizing the backdrop, the mountains and you know, it’s a great place to shoot as well.”
Star Trek Beyond doesn’t hit theaters until July 22, 2016. Until it arrives, you can catch Elba in his latest role, in Netflix’s Beasts of No Nation, which will be available for streaming October 16.
