Star Trek franchise boss Alex Kurtzman confirmed that the Section 31 movie starring Michelle Yeoh is still happening at NYCC.

Paramount Plus may be losing some Star Trek projects, but one of them is still a go. The Michelle Yeoh Star Trek: Section 31 movie is still a go. Paramount's Star Trek overseer Alex Kurtzman discussed the project at the New York Comic Con Star Trek panel on Saturday, giving a status update on it.

Yeoh was, in fact, given the option to exit the project after her turn in Everything Everywhere All At Once netted her a truckload of awards earlier this year, including the Oscar for Best Actress. However, Yeoh insisted that the project continue - and Kurtzman says she is behind it "with all her power." Section 31 was originally announced as a series, but was later reconfigured as a Paramount+ exclusive movie. It is currently back in the writing process.

What is Section 31? Introduced in the latter seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Section 31 is a shadowy organization within the Federation that employs highly unethical tactics to ensure galactic peace. Those tactics conflict with the Federation's progressive policies, as a deliberate subversion of Gene Roddenberry's utopian view of the future. The organization was primarily represented in Deep Space Nine by Luther Sloan , who was killed off in the show's final season.

The organization has recurred in a number of subsequent Trek series and movies, including Enterprise , Star Trek: Into Darkness , and even Star Trek: Lower Decks, in which Brad Boimler's ambitious transporter duplicate William Boimler becomes a member.
