The legendary director has been heavily linked with an involvement with an upcoming 'Star Trek' movie, and Karl - who plays the role of Leonard McCoy in the rebooted film series - has welcomed the idea.

He told HuffPost: "I think Quentin Tarantino doing that film would be phenomenal.

"He is definitely one of the most exciting filmmakers that's currently working and if he has an interest in making a 'Star Trek' film, I think the studio would be insane not to let him do that."

Karl also admitted he'd relish the chance to work with Tarantino, 56.

He said: "Obviously, I'd very much relish the opportunity to be a part of it, if it came to be."

Meanwhile, Tarantino previously insisted that the tenth movie of his career would be his last.

The legendary filmmaker - whose past hits include 'Pulp Fiction', 'Django Unchained' and 'The Hateful Eight' - has also teased details of his final project, saying it will be "epilogue-y".

He shared: "If you think about the idea of all the movies telling one story, and each film is like a train boxcar connected to each other, this one would sort of be the big show-stopping climax of it all. And I could imagine that the tenth one would be a little more epilogue-y."
