There are many ways the storytelling universe created in the 1960s by Gene Roddenberry stands above all other franchises. Outside of the narrative, Star Trek is unique because it is the rare property that has been successful on both television and in feature films. Despite more hits than flops, Paramount stopped making Star Trek movies -- twice -- after two installments failed to live up to executives' lofty expectations. In 2024, Star Trek will return to the movies with a film starring Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh as Philippa Georgiou, a character she originated on Star Trek: Discovery. Since that series brought Star Trek back to television after a 12-year hiatus, it's fitting its most well-known star will lead its first film since 2016's Star Trek Beyond.
