I would be disappointed to see Quinto leave the role, but ultimately, that role will always be Nimoy's, even if Nimoy never plays it again. Recasting Quinto is no big deal. They already did the hard part.

That said, I do like Quinto as Spock. In fact, when they announced they were recasting, and Heroes was doing its run, I was one of the first people to post that Quinto should get the role. I was shocked when it actually happened months later, and his performance was fine.

He's not irreplaceable, but I'd like to see him stick with it.

He tweeted about an hour ago that that story is just a rumor.

Although, he did not deny it, he just said it was a rumor.

Look, he's fine as Spock, but hardly he barely passes as a pale imitation of the real thing. I'd be thrilled if another better trained actor picked up the role. Or, this is a PR setup for a Spock "death." the guy snt an idiot.

Just because someone signs on to a role for a couple of movies doesn't mean they commit to keep playing the role for the 40 years. Even Nimoy told Paramount to go to hell in for the 1977 "Phase II" series. If Quinto wants to go in another direction, nothing's stopping him. Same goes for Pine and all the others. We've been spoiled by Shatner and his cohorts playing the same roles for decades - in the case of Doohan and Kelley, literally for the remainder of their careers. We can't assume automatically that the same rule applies to other actors.

He has an automatic paycheck every 2-3 years with a high profile movie franchise. Spend the remaining time doing the little art projects or whatever he wants to do that challenges his creativity, or whatever.

Wow. There were rumors on tension on the set between Pine and Quinto but this.....geeeeeeeeeeeeesh

I hope Mr Quinto will do the third movie and this is only a misundertanding.

Stay tuned on TrekWeb.
