Star Trek: Strange New Worlds cast members Ethan Peck and Celia Rose Gooding appeared at a panel at Terrificon, where a fan asked about the possibility of a Strange New Worlds movie. Peck and Gooding were enthusiastic about a Strange New Worlds movie and lobbed potential scenarios back and forth, with Ethan saying that there has been "some discussion" about it but "nothing's set in stone." Read their quotes and watch the Terrificon video, with the movie talk starting at around 23:40, below:
Ethan Peck: I would do one.
Celia Rose Gooding: I would totally do one.
Ethan Peck: I think we’d be great in a Star Trek movie, to be honest. Yeah, I think there’s been some discussion of it, but nothing’s set in stone. But I think it’d be really wonderful. So many of the shows have gotten to do their own films. I think it’d be so fun to do one.
Celia Rose Gooding: We’d have a lot of fun. I think there’s a world in which – I don’t know, I’ve had like fever dreams of us in the Kelvin universe finding a way to cross over.
Ethan Peck: That’d be awesome.
Celia Rose Gooding: (laughs) It’d be very weird to see them talking to Uhura, and then us being like, ‘Hmm, different. Very different.’
Ethan Peck: Well, Quinto’s Spock got to meet Leonard’s Spock, so…
Celia Rose Gooding: I’d love to meet another Uhura.
Ethan Peck: That’d be awesome.
Celia Rose Gooding: That’d be super cool.
Ethan Peck: Yeah, so maybe.
Celia Rose Gooding: Maybe!
Ethan Peck: Also, I think it’d be cool if we did like a Christmas movie.
Celia Rose Gooding: I would love that! I would love that! That’d be so fun.
Can Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Get A Movie?
A streaming movie may be more feasible than a theatrical film
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has a commitment for season 4 from Paramount+, which goes into production in 2025 for a possible 2026 release. But after that, who knows? It's possible Paramount+ could renew Strange New Worlds for season 5. Although executive producers and co-showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers want Strange New Worlds to run into Star Trek's Original Series' time frame, it's unclear how long Paramount+ will keep Strange New Worlds on the air.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has repeatedly charted in Nielsen's streaming top 10 rankings, more than any other Star Trek on Paramount+ show.
If Star Trek: Strange New Worlds does get a movie, it could more likely be a made-for-streaming film on Paramount+ like the upcoming Star Trek: Section 31. Strange New Worlds is part of Star Trek on Paramount+, which is overseen by Alex Kurtzman's Secret Hideout, whereas Star Trek theatrical movies are separate and part of Paramount Pictures. However, the idea of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds crossing over and meeting Chris Pine's Star Trek movie cast is alluring, and something Ethan Peck and Celia Rose Gooding would clearly love to do.
