Zachary Quinto has given fans a hopeful update on Star Trek 4.

The fourth film in the rebooted timeline, which was kickstarted by JJ Abrams in 2009, has had a number of false starts over the past few years. The last we heard was that a new writer had come aboard back in March.

Quinto has now spoken out about the possibility of the Star Trek cast getting back together for a fourth film one day, saying that "anything's possible".

"There’s no cutoff," the Spock actor told Variety. "The original cast did movies for decades, well into their 50s, 60s.

"The stories might be different. We might not be running as fast on the other planets, but I think anything's possible, and I think there's nothing more fulfilling as an artist then to come back to something after time has passed, and cultivate a relationship with it from a completely different perspective, and a completely new point of view."

"The great thing is Star Trek is a limitless universe," he continued. "Look at all the television shows, look at all the stories, look at all the characters and timelines. Anything is possible.

"That's the joy of the franchise. That's why it's lasted for 55, 60 years. I'm open to it. I would love it. I would absolutely love it."

It's a more positive outlook than Captain Kirk actor Chris Pine has, as last year he admitted that he feels like the franchise is "cursed".

"After the last one came out and didn't do the $1 billion that everyone wanted it to do, and then Anton (Yelchin) passed away, I don't know," he said. "It just... feels like it's cursed."
