Collider posted an extensive interview with Star Trek star Karl Urban and here are few excerpts.

What do you think the evolution for your character is going to be in the sequel for Star Trek?

Karl:  I have no idea.

You haven't seen a script yet?

Karl:  I haven't seen the script.  I just know it is going to be good. 
I am really looking forward to getting onboard that one.  And I feel now that we have introduced all these great characters and it is just going to be really interesting to see where we can take it.

Is it going to start shooting before this comes out in October?

Karl:  No.  It will start to shoot, I think, at the beginning of next year.

You've signed on for two Trek sequels, right?

Karl:  Correct.  Yes.

Do you see yourself going beyond those two?  Is it going to be just a three movie deal with you guys?

Karl:  Again, I don't know.  I think that is sort of dependent upon many factors.

Will you get bored with it eventually?  It sounds like you like a new challenge.

Karl:  Yeah.  Well, I mean that is entirely dependent, I guess, on...You know, like anything, whether you are in a long running TV show or a play, if you are running out of new territory or new gold to mine, then sure, that could potentially stagnate.  But the thing, specifically, about Trek is you can have a look at who is involved.  I mean, you know, J.J., and Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman are all incredibly creative.  So I've got faith in them.  If it goes beyond three, then, you  know, I'd go for it.

Have you made any requests to the writing to J.J. or any of the other people working on it where you want your character to go?  Have you said something you'd like to be included in the next one?

Karl:  No. I kind of think...you know, I kind of think they are geniuses.  We should just let them do what they do.  Officially bestow a genius label on them and just let them do it.  You know, I've just got full faith that whatever they come up with is going to equal and surpass the first installment.

Have there been any roles that you've auditioned for or any scripts that came your way that you regret saying no to or walking away from?

Karl:  Let me think.  Not really.  Not really.  Not that I can think of off the top of my head, actually.

That was a crappy last question.

[laughter]

I didn't get nothing!

Karl:  No, you didn't.
