‘Star Trek’ Sequel Removed by Paramount From Upcoming Film Slate

Post by Nutso »

Paramount has removed its untitled “Star Trek” sequel from its upcoming film slate. The project, produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, had been dated to hit theaters on Dec. 22, 2023.

The rather inevitable news comes roughly one month after director Matt Shakman exited the “Star Trek” film, which was nominally set to be the fourth cinematic tour of duty for Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as Bones, John Cho as Sulu and Simon Pegg as Scotty. Shakman was successfully courted by Marvel Studios to helm its “Fantastic Four” reboot, reuniting the “WandaVision” director with the studio, after “Spider-Man: No Way Home” director Jon Watts left that film in April.

I'm sort of sad about this but, not devastated. I guess Strange New Worlds has really filled in that Star Trek void in my life.

Yes, just seen that. They lost their director to Marvel apparently. They do seem to be having a hard time of it.
