With CinemaCon having delivered some pretty major news stories over this past week, now comes some pretty major news on the Star Trek franchise.

As reported by Variety, Paramount Pictures has used the event to announce that S.J. Clarkson has been brought in to direct the fourth outing for the revamped cinematic Star Trek series. Clarkson is likely best known to genre fans for her work on the likes of Heroes, Dexter, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, and Marvel’s The Defenders. This marks the first time in history that a female has been tasked with helming an installment in the Star Trek franchise. Godzilla vs. Kong’s J.D. Payne and Star Trek Beyond’s Patrick McKay are on screenplay duties.

Previously, the last we’d heard was that Quentin Tarantino was being eyed to write and possibly direct this fourth ‘new’ Star Trek film, although that’s seemingly now not the case. The current word is that QT is still in line to develop a Star Trek movie down the line, but that is now taking a backseat for the S.J. Clarkson-helmed effort.

In terms of plot, this next outing for the cinematic franchise will reportedly see Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk travel through time and end up meeting his father, who will once again be played by Chris Hemsworth.

As ever, expect more on this new Star Trek movie as it continues to develop.
