Production started yesterday in Toronto.
Tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) must face the sins of her past.
Originally intended to be a Paramount+ series, the “special original movie event” follows Yeoh as ruthless mirror-verse Emperor Philippa Georgiou, who wound up involved in Starfleet’s covert Section 31 in season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery.
Although she travelled with the Discovery crew to the 32nd century in season 3 , she had to return to the past because she couldn’t maintain cohesion so far from both the mirror-verse and her own time.
Last year Michelle Yeoh, now 61, was the first Asian to win the Oscar for Best Actress for her lead role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, which won seven awards,, including Best Picture.
