It seems everyone is a big name star that is in this film. Paramount got Abrams want to use his sway to lock up everyone he can. It's getting a bit too weird. I mean this is STAR TREK not some random summer blockbuster. It feels wrong to scoop up big names for every member of the cast.
Star Trek staring Matt Damon, Adrian Brody, & Jennifer Garner? Weird.
Hell Tom Cruise said he wanted a role in it.

Though Abrams said no Tom Cruise thankfully.
