When a completely new Star Trek film was announced at the beginning of the year, taking you far into the past of the sci-fi franchise, all hope seemed lost that we would ever see another part of the Reboot from 2009 receive. It looks like we buried Star Trek 4 too soon. The film is still being planned.

According to Variety, the new film will be released as… grand finale conceived. Chris Pine (Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Zoe Saldaña (Uhura), Karl Urban (Pille), John Cho (Sulu) and Simon Pegg (Scotty) are expected to join us for one final adventure into the vastness of space to return. The cast has not yet been officially confirmed.

Yockey is best known for the crime series The Flight Attendant, which he is the series creator behind. He started out as a playwright. He entered the world of moving images through the projects Awkward and Scream. He then co-wrote series such as Supernatural and Doom Patrol. Star Trek 4 will be his first feature film.

In addition to Star Trek 4, three other Star Trek films are being planned:

  • The Star Trek film in the past: Toby Haynes (Andor) directs. Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter) is writing the script.
  • The Star Trek film by Kalinda Vazquez: The screenwriter has already written for Star Trek: Discovery. The project was announced in 2021. Not much has been heard about it so far.
  • The Discovery spin-off Star Trek: Section 31: Michelle Yeoh returns as Captain Philippa Georgiou. The film is being made exclusively for the Paramount+ streaming service. Filming started at the beginning of the year.

    • Sci-Fi sequel: When does Star Trek 4 start in cinemas?

    Despite all the good news: Star Trek 4 has not yet had an official theatrical release. It can be assumed that Yockey will completely restart the project, which means that we will meet again at the very beginning of production condition. The script needs to be finalized and the director position needs to be filled. It will probably be a few more years before Pine and Co. return to the Star Trek universe one last time.
