While there has been no shortage of Star Trek since 2016, there also hasn’t been a theatrically released film in the franchise since Star Trek Beyond, the third film in the Kelvin Universe timeline, which ended as a fresh start for the crew, but ended up being their accidental swan song. Since then, there have been more false starts on a “Star Trek 4” than fans can even remember. But now, with the complex Skydance and Paramount merger nearly complete, it’s possible that a new Star Trek film, specifically a Beyond sequel, might actually happen.
Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on September 23, Zachary Quinto, who played Spock in all three of the reboot films, added a bit of hope to the possibility that the long-lost continuing mission of that specific Enterprise crew might actually happen.
