Exclusive Image from Star Trek: Section 31 Features Michelle Yeoh and Crew on a High-Stakes Mission

This article is part of ScreenRant’s Exclusive 2025 Movie Preview series. Stay tuned for the complete feature coming later this week!

A thrilling new image from Star Trek: Section 31 has surfaced, showcasing Michelle Yeoh as she leads her crew on a perilous mission in an intriguing new setting. This project, set to premiere on Paramount+ on January 24, 2025, marks a significant milestone as it is the first feature-length film in the Star Trek universe designed specifically for a streaming platform. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, the film features Yeoh reprising her role as Philippa Georgiou from the acclaimed series Star Trek: Discovery. In this storyline, the Mirror Universe variant of Georgiou teams up with Starfleet on a high-stakes mission that threatens billions of lives.

We are excited to reveal an exclusive first-look image from Star Trek: Section 31. The image depicts Georgiou, adorned in a bold jacket complete with spiked shoulder pads, as she remains vigilant while navigating what seems to be an intricate cave system. Accompanying her is Omari Hardwick’s character Alok, who is visibly tense, alongside Sam Richardson portraying Quasi, a nervous shapeshifter, who appears to be holding a flashlight. Take a look at the full-size image below:

This image offers a tantalizing glimpse into the expansive adventure awaiting Georgiou and her Starfleet crew, who will navigate treacherous planets reminiscent of Georgiou’s tumultuous past, which is set to haunt her. Notably, despite its exclusive streaming release, Star Trek: Section 31 promises a cinematic experience unlike anything the franchise has delivered since the theatrical release of Star Trek Beyond in 2016.

The previous installment, Star Trek Beyond, remains the last feature-length film in the franchise, concluding the adventures of Chris Pine’s Captain Kirk in the Kelvin Timeline series.

A significant contributor to the film’s cinematic essence will undoubtedly be Yeoh herself. Following her Oscar win for Best Actress at the 95th Academy Awards for her role in Everything Everywhere All At Once, this will be her return to the character of Georgiou, making it a highly anticipated moment. This engagement occurs about a year after her prestigious award, marking a major comeback to the franchise. Yeoh’s illustrious career is further bolstered by recent portrayals, including her role as Madame Morrible in the upcoming production of Wicked, positioning her as a formidable contender in the 2024-2025 awards season.

The upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 not only heralds Yeoh’s return to the franchise but also signifies an essential milestone in her post-Oscar career. This film will be her first opportunity in a lead role since the release of Everything Everywhere All At Once in 2022. Since that time, Yeoh has largely taken on supporting roles in notable projects like The Witcher: Blood Origin, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, A Haunting in Venice, American Born Chinese, and Wicked.
