Star Trek Beyond: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

Simon Pegg may have co-written Beyond, but he generously gives a lot of the prime rib material to his co-stars, even if he does admittedly benefit from being paired with new alien comrade Jaylah for most of the movie.

Their banter is extremely sweet and entertaining, and Pegg continues to nail the comedic exasperation of the character without turning him into a caricature or merely an impression of James Doohan.

Though it remains to be seen how far the next movie will take a potential romantic pairing between Scotty and Jaylah, they worked terrifically well together and so it wouldn't seem especially forced.
