After years of hiatus, Paramount Pictures is taking a new step toward bringing Star Trek back to the big screen. Toby Haynes, director of the Star Wars series Andor , will direct the new film from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith.
Chris Pine first played Captain Kirk in Star Trek (2009)
The plot is said to take place decades before the events of the 2009 Star Trek film directed by JJ Abrams. Paramount Pictures describes it as an extension of the "Trek universe".
The Star Trek series is largely a television series, streaming in recent years on Paramount+.

Star Trek Beyond is the most recent "Trek universe" film, released in 2016, starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk (his first role in Star Trek in 2009) and actors Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldaña, John Cho… Paramount Pictures is developing a new Star Trek project with the above cast and is said to be the final chapter of the series.
In 2016, Paramount Pictures announced the production of Star Trek 4 , starring Chris Hemsworth (who played Kirk's father in the 2009 film) along with Chris Pine. However, that project did not come to fruition.

In February 2022, producer JJAbrams made a surprise announcement that a new Star Trek movie was in the works, starring Chris Pine, and would start filming later this year. This move surprised even the cast. Matt Shakman (who directed the series WandaVision ) was set to direct the movie, but left in August 2022 to take on the Fantastic Four for Marvel Studios.
