George Takei on Gay Sulu in 'Star Trek Beyond': 'I Think It's Really Unfortunate'

FUSE TV - George Takei on Gay Sulu in 'Star Trek Beyond': 'I Think It's Really Unfortunate'

It was revealed yesterday that Star Trek Beyond's Sulu will be the franchise's first gay character, but the OG Sulu, George Takei, who notably played him in the Star Trek film and television series, reacted in an unexpected way.

The actor told The Hollywood Reporter, "I’m delighted that there’s a gay character. Unfortunately, it’s a twisting of Gene’s creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it’s really unfortunate."
