[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Star Trek: Section 31.]
How may we not need to see extra of this staff — Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), Alok (Omari Hardwick), Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), Quasi (Sam Richardson), and Wisp (Sven Ruygrok) — after the top of the Star Trek: Part 31 film confirmed them not solely discovering methods to work collectively but in addition launched Jamie Lee Curtis as Management?! Effectively, everybody — the forged together with govt producer Alex Kurtzman and govt producer and director Olatunde Osunsanmi — needs to do one other film, in order that bodes properly.
It’s a really enthusiastic “sure” from Yeoh. “Initially, I like this character and there are such a lot of adventures available as a result of that’s Part 31. It may be a standalone story as a result of it’s a standalone journey. It doesn’t should be one which stretches for eight episodes or one thing like that,” she tells TV Insider. “And I feel it actually appeals to me as a result of it’s like Guardians of the Galaxy, Mission Inconceivable in area.”
She additionally notes that’s “within the spirit of Star Trek, the place you discover totally different frontiers and totally different planets and totally different issues to resolve, and with a tremendous, misfit, loopy cat crew that’s looking for themselves to redemption. They’re very flawed characters who you don’t know whether or not they’re working with one another or they’re making an attempt to destroy one another, however on the finish of the day, they’ve a number of enjoyable.”
For Hardwick, doing extra would enable him to go deeper along with his character. “Alok’s nonetheless a thriller even to the one that performed him,” he admits. There’s “a lot to unlock” with him, “and I do know Tunde and Alex didn’t ask me to come back aboard and simply keep a monolith or relegate myself to that which you noticed on this model or on this iteration of Part 31. I can’t wait to have the ability to dive deeper into that man, however I do know the entire forged needs to come back again.”

Rohl agrees — and he or she has questions on her character as properly. “What’s attention-grabbing with Rachel, too, is she’s so staunchly Starfleet and so the truth that she even finds her approach into the Part 31 world is type of wild to start with, and the journey that she then goes on within the movie is such a wild discovery for her,” she notes. “I’m inquisitive about who plucked her from Starfleet and put her in Part 31. Why? What did they see and the way can we find yourself with the final word sacrifice that she makes? That entire journey is stuffed with scrumptious colours. There’s a number of that I need to discover.”
Kazinsky would come again for extra instantly, regardless of his character’s destiny. “I’d work on this present without spending a dime for the remainder of my life,” he enthuses earlier than including, “Alex Kurtzman, I didn’t imply it. However I’d. Star Trek is my world.”
Ruygrok can be on board due to the “household” of the present, one thing he felt at the same time as “a really child Trekkie.” Kazinsky echoes that sentiment concerning the forged: “I feel you possibly can see the camaraderie on that display screen. And if we don’t get to make extra, we’re going to overlook out on the type of dynamic and the type of chemistry that you simply don’t see onscreen lots.”
The EPs would like to do extra and hope the followers like it as a lot as they do. “We had a good time making it,” says Kurtzman. “And I feel we simply opened the door to the sorts of tales that you would find yourself telling. However who is aware of? ”
Might any of these tales play out on Paramount+’s Star Trek exhibits? Unusual New Worlds is returning for Seasons 3 and 4, and Starfleet Academy is coming.
“I wouldn’t rule it out. I imply, one of many issues that’s been I feel actually enjoyable for us over the past eight years is discovering methods to cross-pollinate tales,” in line with Kurtzman. “And it’s not essentially that we set one thing up that turns into an enormous driver in one other collection, however the exhibits undoubtedly and the film now discuss to one another in numerous methods, and we are going to all the time have connection factors for positive.”
But when there’s extra, there’s a query of how this staff may work collectively. “If Jamie Lee’s in cost, we’re going to make it work as a result of she’ll work us to make it work,” Rohl says instantly. “It’s one other highly effective girl for Rachel to bounce off and awaken towards, which could be very cool.
“We’re good,” provides Hardwick. “It’s an entire totally different entity along with her. It’s its personal galaxy. She has given the command. So in her giving us the command, I feel it’ll be an attention-grabbing factor to see the place [all the characters go].”
Ruygrok thinks that the staff is simply reflective of the forged. “We’re reduce from so many alternative garments, however united, we’re just about all the identical, and I feel we actually felt that,” he says. “So going ahead, I’d think about that we’re nonetheless our identical selves with a stronger unity, a stronger sense of who we’re, the place are we going, the path that we need to take. This ragtag staff, I feel, will make some strikes within the galaxy collectively.”
That staff now features a new member in Wisp, Fuzz’s spouse, after he turned out to be the mole and the staff killed him in a combat. (Ruygrok performs the character, because the small being is contained in a Vulcan conveyance.) So ought to the staff belief Wisp? “Your query is legitimate,” Ruygrok laughs. (Watch the video above to see him speak about taking part in totally different characters on this film.)
However there could be extra from Part 31: Kazinsky teased scenes had been reduce, however he hopes that they present up as DVD extras. “We shot like eight totally different variations of this film,” he shares. “There have been so many great issues that didn’t make the film that if we’d had the finances and the time would’ve added an additional 40 minutes. Hopefully, there’s an terrible lot that may come. However talking to Tunde about it, concerning the edit, I feel a number of these concepts will make it into any sequel.”
