Michelle Yeoh to lead ‘Star Trek’ new movie
PARAMOUNT+ on Tuesday night confirmed it has officially greenlit “Star Trek: Section 31” starring Oscar-award winner Michelle Yeoh.
In this special original movie event for the service, Yeoh will return to her role as Emperor Phillipa Georgiou, a character she first played in Star Trek: Discovery’s first season.
In Star Trek: Section 31, Emperor Phillipa Georgiou joins a secret division of Starfleet tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets and faces the sins of her past. Produced by CBS Studios, production will begin later this year.
“I’m beyond thrilled to return to my Star Trek family and to the role I’ve loved for so long,” said Michelle Yeoh.
“Section 31 has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Phillipa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek launched, and to see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that’s shown me the incredible the power of never giving up on your dreams,” the Oscar winner added.
Memento Maxima Digital MarketingAccording to executive producer Alex Kurtzman, Yeoh had the idea to do a spin-off of her character, Phillipa Georgiou as early as 2017.
“She broke new ground as one of the first two women on screen in the pilot to usher in a new age of Trek, and now, six years later, Section 31 finally arrives on the heels of her latest groundbreaking [Oscar] win.”
Written by Craig Sweeny and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, Star Trek: Section 3 is executive produced by Alex Kurtzman, Craig Sweeny, Aaron Baiers, Olatunde Osunsanmi, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth and Michelle Yeoh, and is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.

Though he is best known as a superhero, Chris Evans has taken on the sidekick part in the upcoming movie Ghosted, playing a boyfriend unwittingly pulled into the adventures of his CIA agent girlfriend, portrayed by Ana de Armas. For De Armas, the reversal of traditional gender norms in the film, which comes out on Apple+ Friday, is “just cool.” “It is important because there’s this… expectation of like, always the man is the one who carry an action film,” the 34-year-old told AFP at the movie’s premiere Tuesday evening in New York. But in this action film-romantic comedy mashup, directed by Dexter Fletcher, it’s not only the men who can be “badass,” according to De Armas. In the film, Evans’ slightly awkward Cole feels put out and confused when he’s met with radio silence — or “ghosted” — after his successful first date with the mysterious Sadie. But he soon learns it’s not personal — she’s just too busy being a CIA agent to fall in love. “It’s nice to play a damsel in distress,” Evans said. “It’s nice to be someone who needs to be saved,” added the actor, who has spent the last decade donning the Captain America suit as a member of the Marvel Universe’s Avengers. Ghosted, which is complete with action movie staples such as shootout scenes and other stunts, also features Adrien Brody in the villain role. This is not the first action film for Cuban De Armas, who starred alongside in the 2021 James Bond thriller No Time to Die and is set to appear in the 2024 John Wick film Ballerina. She was nominated for a best actress Oscar for her role as Marilyn Monroe in the 2022 film Blonde.
