Paramount Pictures has now removed the Star Trek film set for release on December 22, 2023. The news first came from the trades, with Variety noting the move was “inevitable” following the news from last month of director Matt Shakman exiting the project.

After Shakman left the project, producer JJ Abrams and Paramount were reported to have started a hunt for a new director. There are no details on the current status of the project and no new statement from Paramount today. Last month following Shakman’s exit the studio did issue a statement that said (in part), Paramount was “excited about the creative vision of this next chapter and look forward to bringing it to audiences all around the world.”

My guess is they probably going to delay it until 2026: the 60th anniversary . I mean if they delay it to 24 or 25 it may as well be 26. and since Trek is back big on TV etc no need to play down the anniversary and pretend its a Marvel style space action movie (like in 2016)

Probably still be the JJ cast 10 years later like TOS cast big gap (1969-79), that way the 3 movies would be like TOS seasons 1/2/3 then the belated 4th film their TMP (similar age to them back then) otherwise breaking in a new movie crew be a big ask for audiences when there the kelvin cast ready and willing with previous decent box office (1.2b ww over 3 movies) . and can't see DIS or even SNW getting a movie anytime soon
