Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is remembered as one of the franchise’s biggest mainstream hits, but its development may have been even stranger than fans realize. In this video, we dig into the oral history that reveals Eddie Murphy was seriously considered for the film — and how that near-casting could have pushed Star Trek in a very different direction.
From Harve Bennett’s recollections to the film’s comedy-driven, earthbound tone, this story shows how close The Voyage Home came to becoming something entirely different. If you love behind-the-scenes Star Trek history, alternate movie timelines, and 1980s Hollywood what-ifs, this one is for you.
Watch to see how one of the biggest comedy stars in America nearly became part of Star Trek history.
