The Star Trek franchise has now been running for 60 years, with Spiner part of the world of the USS Enterprise and beyond since he made his first appearance as Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation in 1987.
But speaking in New York ahead of the new Star Trek documentary, The Sixty-Year Mission, Spiner said there was even more of the story to be told.
The actor has revealed a sequel to Star Trek: Nemesis was initially planned, which was "going to be fantastic", bringing together multiple characters from throughout every part of the franchise in a story around the Mirror Universe and time travel.
"We had an original script that we wrote that was rejected. It wasn’t the script. We had a story idea that involved everybody playing two roles, but alas, that this wasn’t to be."
Shortly after the project was scrapped, it was announced that Star Trek was getting a full movie reboot, with JJ Abrams at the helm and a new cast.
Chris Pine led the new all-star cast as Captain James T Kirk (previously played by William Shatner) with Zachary Quinto taking over the role of Spock from Leonard Nimoy and Simon Pegg playing Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott, replacing James Doohan.
