Unusual in that there was no reason to do this and it wasn’t referenced in the movie. Bunuel just thought it would be interesting to cast two actresses in the same role. They randomly switched back and forth throughout the movie.

There were actually three Spocks in that movie. Jacob Kogan played Spock as a child.

Different actors who have played the same character in sequels or prequels

1. Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro - Don Corleone- _The Godfather_ and _The Godfather, Part II_
2. Christopher Reeve and Brandon Routh - Superman/Clark Kent - _Superman II_ and _Superman Returns_

_Returns_ was technically a sequel to _Superman II,_ not a reboot, and the filmmakers pretended that III and IV didn’t happen. I can’t say I blame them.
