Overview
- A Variety report says the studio has moved on from reuniting Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and the Kelvin-era ensemble and is seeking a new movie with a fresh take.
- The decision caps nearly a decade of stalled development cycles that involved high-profile attachments including Quentin Tarantino, Noah Hawley, and Matt Shakman.
- Trade coverage points to the weak financial return of 2016’s Star Trek Beyond relative to its budget as a key factor in the strategic reset for theatrical plans.
- The previously reported origin-of-Starfleet project linked to director Toby Haynes and writer Seth Grahame-Smith remains unclear under the new regime.
- Paramount continues to position Star Trek as a priority across film and Paramount+, with reporting indicating no theatrical release is expected in 2026.
