The Starfleet crew is back! A new installment of Star Trek is in the works, and the cast is ready to start filming by the end of the year.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Karl Urban and Simon Pegg, are returning to the iconic franchise, reprising their original roles as Kirk, Spock, Uhura, Sulu, Bones and Scotty, respectively.

Rumors about a fourth installment of ‘Star Trek’ started in 2016 after the release of ‘Star Trek Beyond,’ and in 2018 when it was reported that Pine would not be returning after negotiations with the Hollywood star failed.
The new film will be directed by Matt Shakman, known for directing Disney Plus’ popular series ‘WandaVision.’ Paramount also announced a third installment of ‘A Quiet Place’ and a third ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ film.
