Chris Pine BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Chris Pine has kept things characteristically unpredictable and intriguing over the past few days, blending candid reflections with unexpected public appearances and a steady undercurrent of Star Trek buzz that just won’t go away. The frontline headline comes from Esquire, where Pine confessed that the Star Trek franchise, in which he famously stars as Captain Kirk, feels “cursed.” Pine told Esquire he has not heard a whisper about the long-awaited fourth Star Trek film, lamenting that actors seem to be the last to know about franchise developments and reflecting on the missed billion-dollar box office targets, the loss of Anton Yelchin, and general production inertia. “I don’t know anything,” he said, leaving fans both dismayed and tantalized that there might be something brewing behind studio doors, though director J.J. Abrams merely teased that a new story feels as compelling as the 2009 reboot without confirming anything concrete, so speculation persists.

In more uplifting news, Pine made an understated-yet-noteworthy public appearance at the Five Days at Memorial premiere in Los Angeles. According to Variety, he was there to support his father, Robert Pine, radiating classic family loyalty on the red carpet before letting his dad have the spotlight. The event caused a wave of buzz among attendees and entertainment reporters, reminding us that for Pine, Hollywood is a family affair as much as a career.

On the business front, during the flurry of updates at the 2025 San Diego Comic Con, Mens Journal reported that Pine has been added to the cast of a new Star Trek venture, further muddying the waters about the franchise’s future while likely amping up long-term biographical relevance depending on how—if at all—this project materializes. Meanwhile, Just Jared shared that Pine was recently spotted in Los Feliz meeting a friend for lunch, looking relaxed and drawing the usual social media chatter about his effortlessly cool style, but no major revelations appeared from the outing.

Fans of The Princess Diaries might also find hope: In an interview with AOL, Pine confirmed his interest in reprising his role of Nicholas Devereaux should Princess Diaries 3, reportedly in the works, get the green light. Social media also buzzed over behind-the-scenes footage from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, where the Beastie Boys track Sabotage—iconically linked to Pine’s Kirk—was rumored to play in a recent episode; in truth, the song was used only as a temp track, not in the final edit, according to on-set sources.

There is no notable negative news or gossip currently circulating, and Pine’s representatives have swiftly shut down any recent social media spats or rumors as unfounded in the past week. Altogether, Chris Pine seems to be doing what he does best—keeping fans guessing, staying just visible enough, and leaving everyone wanting more.
