There are also interesting tidbits from the Section 31 trailer that suggest who the other cast members may be playing. Omari Hardwick is clearly playing Philippa Georgiou's Section 31 recruiter or handler in the Star Trek movie, given his damning summary of her crimes. Sven Ruygrok's character is likely a Vulcan, as the Federation and the Romulans are on non-speaking terms at this point in the Star Trek timeline. Rob Kazinsky's bulky exoskeleton cuts an imposing figure, while it looks like Humberly González is playing a Deltan from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Star Trek: Section 31 is set in the years before Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) was built, which implies Sam Richardson could be the beneficiary of Soong's pre-Data cybernetics.
Most interesting of all, is the first look at Sam Richardson in Star Trek: Section 31. One shot of Richardson's character, reveals that he has what looks like the yellow eyes of a Soong android. Star Trek: Section 31 is set in the years before Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner) was built, which implies Sam Richardson could be the beneficiary of Soong's pre-Data cybernetics. Viewers will see whether Richardson's character is related to Data, and how Philippa Georgiou's disparate Starfleet spy team comes together when Star Trek: Section 31 premieres on Paramount+ in 2025.
