Tensions were high in December 2015 and sci-fi enthusiasts had no idea what to expect from Disney’s first entry in the new reboot.
In The Opening Night Excitation, Wheaton gleefully mocked the Star Wars franchise by dressing up as Star Trek’s Spock for the premiere of Episode VII, and was nearly booed out of the auditorium.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, the star revealed most of the cast and crew had no idea Wheaton would be in full Vulcan regalia, complete with pointy ears, for the pivotal scene.
He recalled: “And I come in, I walk into the end of the theater in full Mr. Spock gear. Nobody knew that was going to happen.”
