‘Star Trek’ Franchise Reboot: Simon Kinberg Eyed for Paramount Movie
So now this just sounds like a Trek prequel, not specifically a Kelvin prequel.

Ok, I can buy that, but it means that it created a true parallel universe and not a branch in the Prime timeline.
This could be viewed as consistent with the Kelvin universe 24th century officer not being able to survive in the 32nd century Prime Universe.
Yeah, my simplified headcanon explanation is that the Kelvin universe was always there, and Spock and Nero happened to tunnel into it.
If you want to add the wrinkle that the red matter implosion somehow created it (which the original film seems to suggest)…well, it’s more complicated, but it works, too.
