Why these credits for Star Trek Into Darkness?
I noticed during the credit sequence at the end of Star Trek Into Darkness that Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Morrison were credited as Kirk's parents (whom they portrayed in the previous film).
I cannot recall seeing them, either as a flashback or as an audio bite, in this new film.
Can anyone shed any light on this? A deleted scene?
Best Answer
According to an article about the credits for the movie at TrekMovie.com,
although they [Hemsworth and Morrison] don’t appear in the film, some of their dialog from the 2009 movie can be briefly heard during a dream sequence/flashback.
Presumably that counts as a speaking part, so they have to be in the credits.

While Star Trek: Into Darkness is a loose remake of Wrath of Khan, it was never supposed to capture the original's essence; because it couldn't.

Answer 2
At the end of the film, Kirk is slowly regaining consciousness. During this scene, some audio from Star Trek (2009) plays. It's from the opening sequence of that film, when his parents were discussing naming him. You hear both Chris Hemsworth's and Jennifer Morrison's voices, and so that's why they're credited.
No, it doesn't make sense that he'd be hearing this, he was just born in that scene, so he couldn't possibly remember this.
