This has been a longtime coming! Paramount’s Thinking Of Doing A Star Trek: Picard Movie!

That’s right Star Trek fans, Sir Patrick Stewart is due to make his grand return to the role of Jean-Luc Picard in the Star Trek: Picard TV series next year. Read on…

CelebNMovies247.com has learned that the news of a Star Trek: Picard TV series for the Trek franchise as the ViacomCBS merger means that the rights to both the TV and movie sides of the IP are under the same roof for the first time in 13 years.

It appears that Paramount will be taking advantage of this since we never got another Star Trek with Chris Pine.

Anyways, sources are telling us that has eyes on doing a new movie starring Stewart as Picard at some point. Which means, that it could either be after the show ends or during its run. Whichever one they decide to go with, it’s definitely something that’s being considered behind the scenes. And before you question the validity of the tea spill, this comes from the same source who said Ewan McGregor was returning as Obi-Wan back in May, and that an Aladdin sequel was in development, both of which were later confirmed.

Though he originated the role on TV’s The Next Generation, Stewart has played Picard on the big screen several times. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the TNG cast featured in four movies and the last was 2002’s Star Trek: Nemesis. To date, this is the final film to be set in the prime universe and not the Kelvin timeline of the modern era, according to WeGotThisCovered, who spilled the tea first. There’s a three-year plan in place for the Star Trek: Picard series though, with the first 10-episode season scheduled to premiere on CBS All Access on January 23rd.

As for Quentin Tarantino’s effort, it is expected to continue with Chris Pine and co. so this new Picard film would be the first cinematic outing for the prime universe in a long, long time – if it ends up happening.
