...Scottish actor James McAvoy is likely to be given the role of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the upcoming Star Trek prequel. Paramount is naturally keen to get a native Scotsman to fill the boots of the late James Doohan, whose accent and personality lent much charm to the original Star Trek series and films. (Interestingly enough, Doohan himself was not Scottish, but rather a Canadian actor with a talent for foreign accents.)
His more notable credits include The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (as Tumnus the Faun), The Last King of Scotland, and the Children of Dune miniseries (as Leto Atreides II).
Matt Damon is rumored to play Kirk.
