Section 31 seems so familiar

“Star Trek: Section 31” carries the franchise on a less busy path by bringing back to the outstanding Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) of “Star Trek: Discovery” and put it in charge of a robbery. Unlike the “Star Wars” version of the theme of the robbery film in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” of 2016, “Trek”, often more idealist and pacifist, opts for a much more cheerful route. “Star Trek: Section 31” is movie garbage B in the best possible way, while Yeoh, winner of the Academy Award, looks the new role of her tyrant fallen as the leader of possibly the most heterogeneous team than a “Star project Trek “has provided fans. .

Among the key members of the special operations team of section 31 of the film is the unpredictable and intense Fuzz, which would probably not be a main character in any other “Star Trek” movie. Fuzz is played by South African actor Sven Ruygrok, a rising star that has made a name in recent years, both in the fiction genre and outside of it. This is where you may have seen it before.

Before his cancellation and transfer to Netflix at the end of 2023, Max’s “Warrior” was among the best things on television. The always unknown criminal drama of martial arts of the nineteenth century has led a besieged life, but it could still have another season if it has the right success in Netflix. For now, however, fans who have already enjoyed the program will simply have to settle for seeing it again … and, while doing so, detecting some surprising guest stars.

In the star season 3 of “Warrior”, one of those invited stars is none other than Sven Ruygrok. It appears in episode 6, entitled “A soft heart will not do any favor”, as the remarkable but conflicting Carter antagonist. While Richard Lee (Tom Weston-Jones) and Wang Chao (Hoon Lee) are chained aboard a train that goes to the first georgia of the first, they have to forget their personal differences to survive the anger of Aunt Violet ( Patricia Boyer). whose children Lee killed. Carter is one of Lee’s cousins, and Lee is sad to discover that the promising young man has been reduced little more than a henchman, especially because it is partly due to Lee’s own actions.

Chao and reads finally escape from the claws of the angry family, and things end in a way that gives us all the reasons to believe that this will be the last time we will see Carter. As such, whether “Warrior” once will continue his story or not, Ruygrok fans may at least be sure that his character’s arch reaches a fairly definitive conclusion.

“Star Trek: Section 31” It is not the first time that Sven Ruygrok plays a rogue gender character, since the actor previously played the Pirate Cabaji in the adaptation of the Netflix real action series of the popular manga “One Piece” From Eiichiro Oda. The expert in throwing knives, without a shirt and with straight hair, is one of the main henchmen of the Buggy the clown (Jeff Ward), and his wheel of death that launches knives can make the life of a prisoner the prisoner .

Cabaji has a very special issue to solve with Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), a pirate hunter who is working with straw hat pirates. Naturally, the two characters with swords are face to face when Cabaji captures Zoro in his death wheel that launches knives in episode 2 of season 1 of “One Piece”, “The man with straw hat.” While Cabaji is not such a great threat to the protagonist as he would like to believe, the time they spend together is essential for Zoro’s history, since it marks the first moment in which he openly expresses his support to Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy ). .

In the original material, Cabaji stays for a good time, serving as a reliable lieutenant-lack of Buggy and a certain future villain whose appearance we will not spoil here. It remains to be seen if the program intends to keep it to the same extent, but since it has barely begun to touch the character’s acrobat skills, it would not be out of discussion to wait for more Ruygrok in the series. ‘Second season.
