BREAKING: Just a month after losing WandaVision director Matt Shakman to Marvel's FantasticFour reboot, Paramount has pulled StarTrek 4 from the release calendar.
As the search for a new director continues, Star Trek 4 has been removed from Paramount's release calendar. The movie franchise, better known as the Kelvin Timeline, acted as an origin story for the original sci-fi show, exploring Chris Pine's James T. Kirk as he rises through the ranks of Federation, all in the honor of his late father, Chris Hemsworth's George Kirk.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Development on a fourth installment in J.J. Abrams' Kelvin timeline has been in the works since 2016's Star Trek Beyond, with a number of directors and writers coming and going from the project. The film's elongated development even saw Paramount begin eyeing other potential projects set in the franchise, including a Quentin Tarantino-penned Star Trek movie set apart from the main USS Enterprise crew.
Will Star Trek 4 Ever Happen? The writing seemed to be on the wall for Star Trek 4 to be removed from the Paramount release calendar following Shakman's exit as director on the project. Comments made by Pine and Urban earlier this year praised Shakman and saw them express their excitement to return, though both actors noted that they had yet to see a script for the long-awaited Star Trek sequel, a concerning piece of information given the film was slated for a December 2023 release date.
With the film now being pulled from the Paramount release calendar, the question now becomes whether Star Trek 4 will ever happen. As the new report indicates, one of the biggest factors into pulling the long-awaited sequel was the struggle to keep its busy ensemble roster of actors on contract for the film without a planned start date, a sentiment echoed by Simon Pegg this past summer.
