Overview

• Simon Pegg told fans at STLV that he would be “so happy” to make a fourth Star Trek movie and is eager to reunite with Zoe Saldaña, Karl Urban, Chris Pine and John Cho.
• Pegg noted that David Ellison’s recent rise to Paramount chairman and his reputation as a “big Star Trek fan” could help push the stalled sequel into production.
• The Kelvin-timeline fourth film has weathered years of creative upheaval, including Matt Shakman’s 2022 exit and multiple scriptwriters such as Steve Yockey being attached and replaced.
• Pegg acknowledged that the 2016 death of Anton Yelchin continues to weigh on any reunion but said the cast would welcome an opportunity to honor their late co-star.
• While Star Trek 4 remains without a production start or release date, Paramount and Skydance are moving ahead with a separate prequel by Toby Haynes and maintaining an active TV slate with shows like Strange New Worlds season 3 and Starfleet Academy.
