It has been 8 years since the lastStar Trekmovie,Star Trek Beyond,graced the big screen. Ever since, while there have been several TV shows and more on the way, the futuristic space franchise has not returned to the big screen despite the announcement of a sequel before the release of the third movie.
Its loyal and huge fanbase has thus been eagerly waiting, hoping to see the cast of the rebooted saga once again. While negotiations with actors and writers have been broken several times before, the inclusion of Steve Yockey as the new screenwriter has created a significant buzz. And Paramount still hopes that the sequel toBeyondwill be the last film of the rebooted movie series featuring its original cast.

With Chris Hemsworth starring asChris Pine‘s Captain Kirk’s father in 2018 toQuentin Tarantino pitching in his own movie and later not wanting to direct it,and a movie with a brand new cast being shelved in 2020, there have been several such incidents.
Fans have thus been left disappointed again and again as the studio has failed to capitalize on the loyal fan base that the franchise has garnered over the years. But that might be about to change, hopefully, as there is a new screenwriter for a fourth and potentially last movie in the rebooted saga.
