Star Trek's Future: 25th or 32nd Century?
25 Jul
Summary
- New Star Trek movie writers hint at a future setting beyond previous installments.
- The film will feature entirely new characters, departing from familiar faces.
- The timeline could be the 25th century (like Picard) or the 32nd century (Discovery).
A new Star Trek film is in development, helmed by writers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, known for their work on "Spider-Man: Homecoming." Paramount is steering the franchise back to the big screen with a story featuring entirely new characters.
During a recent Comic-Con appearance, the writing duo suggested the movie will be set "further into the future than we've been before." This ambiguous statement has led to fan speculation, primarily concerning whether the film will align with the 25th-century timeline of "Star Trek: Picard" and "Star Trek: Lower Decks," or if it will delve into the 32nd century, the setting of "Star Trek: Discovery."
Fans are eager for details, especially after the cancellation of "Starfleet Academy." The 25th-century setting is favored by many who enjoyed the recent "Picard" series and hoped for a "Star Trek: Legacy" continuation. A 32nd-century setting, however, could introduce significant continuity shifts, potentially alienating long-time viewers.
