Nah...the movie takes place over a couple of decades, from the time he's born, up to the time he becomes Captain. At least, that's what I've read about it. If it turns out to be insta-Captain, I'm going to feel nauseated. Abrams said he's going by the Original Series and movies, and that's it. No other source, professional or fandom, would be considered part of his story. So, technically, it doesn't contradict anything (I don't believe). But, it would still be a bad idea. I do like the hint we get that we see the "accident" that leaves Christopher Pike wheelchair-bound/fucked-up. It would be a nice tie-in.
who is Christopher Pike?
