Hidden at the end of an interview with Zachary Quinto in Entertainment Weekly about his role on the new season of American Horror Story (warning: there are spoilers in the interview for those who are not up to date), is a suggestion that the actor is looking for new directions after next summer’s release of Star Trek: Into Darkness.

“It’s like an era of association with certain roles – a specific part like Spock, or a kind of part, like Sylar — is coming to an end,” he says. Of course it wouldn’t be the first time that Spock has died in a Star Trek movie, but would that make this film’s links with the second film with the original crew even more obvious?

Although Quinto tweeted, “simmer down kids. rumors are rumors for a reason. quotes out of context. let’s let the second movie come out before we talk about a third…”, you can judge for yourself by reading the full interview here.
