I have no illusions on whether or not they need me. They decided that they wanted to make this film using Spock as kind of an anchor for the story, which I think worked very, very well. They don't have to do that again. If they decide they have a role for me to play, I would be very interested in talking to them about it. But I have every reason to believe that they have established a whole new set of characters, and they can sail very well without me, and that's fine. Either way is good with me. I am very gratified that this has happened.

i actually would like to see more old Spock, not in a huge role but an appearance would be nice

Doesn't matter to me really, I'm just looking forward to the next movie

The Star Trek movie was great.  I enjoyed seeing Nimoy in it for his bit role but for the follow-up I don't think it's necessary for him to appear again.  Let's face it by the time the second one rolls out he'll have kicked the bucket--or maybe not.  Live long and prosper?  Nimoy's been doing it, along with most of the original Star Trek cast.  They're worse than the Rolling Stones, but in a good way.

isn't he almost 70?

If he can do it, sure, but I don't know how much longer he's going to be around..

I'm always down for more Spock Prime.

I like how Spock kind of had his own Kahn , it being Capt. Nero.

I didn't like him in it. I hope that he stays out of Star Trek 2.

I enjoyed seeing Leonard Nimoy in the new Star Trek as I thought he fit in really well with the concept of the movie, that being alternate history.  I am not at all sure if there would be a place for him in the second one really, as they have already used him as an anchor to the past.  Since the continuity has significantly changed, I think that he may have fulfilled their desired vision.  If this is the last Trek to see Leonard Nimoy, then it will be sad but so be it.

I hope not. I like what JJ did to revamp ST. But it is time to move on. And distance the first show from this new Trek. I think hte more isee if the the series i love the harder it will be for me to keep interested in the new.

I liked Spock Prime, but I'm having a hard time seeing why he needs to be in the next film.

Spock Prime as the anchor/cross over between the "original" and the "new" was great.  I'm not sure how he'd have a future part (especially as he said they've established their own new characters/stories), but I think it would be good to have Spock Prime/Nimoy continue the role.

Props to Nimoy though for answering the question with class!  He's great.

He's a fine actor and him being in the sequel or not is fine by me

Spcok Prime is a cool name. I hadn't heard him called that before.

Anyway, I agree with what Nimoy and what most of you guys said. I think either way would be fine.

" Doesn't matter to me really, I'm just looking forward to the next movie "

I Feel the same way Nimoy Does if there is a role there for him thats great if not then I feel the new characters were established well enough to go on by themselves as the new class of the enterprise. I really enjoyed the reboot, and spock prime was a real treat. so if hes need great if not it was nice to see a kind of passing of the torch moment go on in the reboot.

I think that he may return. J.J Abrams has considered the idea of bringing William Shatner's Kirk into the sequel. If Shatner comes back then I think Leonard Nimoy will come back too. I'd like it if Walter Koenig returned as Chekov. Two Chekovs on the Enterprise would make quite a comic twist. I don't think it'll be likely though. It doesn't seem like something they'd do.
