The veteran actor told Screencrush that he thinks it would be fun to do a Star Wars film. He stated, "Oooh. Ooooh, wouldn't that be fun. I would love to. I think it would work wonderfully. I think it would work just great. I think it would be a great idea, and somebody ought to tell him that."
During the interview the actor had a chance to speak about his iconic role Spock. He revealed that he was not sure whether he was done playing Spock or if he would continue doing cameos in the upcoming Star Trek films. He said, "Wow... That's impossible to answer. I don't know. I don't know what J.J. is going to do. I consider him a very good friend. I think he's done a great thing for Star Trek. I'm very grateful to him. We all owe him a lot. When someone comes along like he has done and picks it up and elevates it, we should be grateful. So when J.J. calls me, I take the call."
