Sy Fy Portal is reporting a rumor that actress Jennifer Morrison will play the role of Number One, the First Officer on the Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike (played by Bruce Greenwood) in the upcoming Star Trek movie prequel.
The role of Number One was played by actress Majel Barrett in the 1964 pilot episode The Cage. The character was the un-named intellectual, problem-solving second-in-command serving under Captain Christopher Pike. Number One is the naval term for the First Officer on board a ship, second-in-command to the captain.
"Gene Roddenberry wanted a woman in a high-ranking role on the show, but NBC wouldn't hear of it," the site's source said. "Now his wish of having a female XO under Pike is finally coming to pass."
"Everyone wants to speculate on what roles these actors are taken on because of their looks, but they should actually be paying more attention to what might be meatier roles," the source said. "What's nice is that Number One will actually have a name."
This information is preliminary, of course, and entirely rumor.
