10 Greatest Star Trek Moments In 2025

Since 1979, Star Trek has enjoyed much success on the big screen, with The Motion Picture making an impressive debut, followed by The Wrath of Khan setting up a universe that continues to be mined to this day. While Trek is well-suited to the small screen, it's hard to ignore the excitement that a new film can bring.

So, when Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daly, who together penned Spider-Man: Homecoming and wrote and directed Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, were announced as heading a new Star Trek film project, tongues immediately started wagging. 

This new film is said to be unconnected to any existing Star Trek film or series, which has caused some confusion in the audience. Will it follow any established character or plot, or simply be a fresh story in the Star Trek universe? Or will it be a reboot, similar to Star Trek in 2009? 

Both ideas have merit. If it's an entirely new story, but in the established universe, then it's very possible this could become the oft-discussed Star Trek: Legacy, just without the Enterprise-G. Were it to become a fresh reboot entirely, then it would be freed from any existing plotline or concern. That is not to say we are championing a scorched Earth approach to Trek, but a bold new vision could reinvigorate the franchise.

As it stands, there is little information to really work with, and Star Trek is no stranger to proposed films that never get off the ground. A fourth Kelvin film has seemingly been permanently shelved, while a Star Trek Origins movie has also gone quiet. 

Both Homecoming and Honor Among Thieves did well at the box office, so these men may very well bring that success to Trek. In a period of history where money dictates so many of the decisions made, having a strong track record can mean everything. 

Star Trek is heading back to the big screen, and we will be in our seats on release day.
