Casting Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Reboot
13. Kassidy Yates - Zoe Kravitz
Zoe Kravitz has been an absolute find in Hollywood recently, not least in her performance in Big Little Lies. She shows cool under pressure, while also displaying a fun and carefree attitude - something that Kassidy should be able to bring to the station.
She will need to work as a counter-balance for Ben Sisko, which Kravitz could certainly achieve. Also, if the idea of switching Jake's character to a female part were to go ahead, Kravitz has already shown that she can be both sisterly and motherly when the situation arises.
There is also a tough streak to her, something that a potential Maquis supplier - but certainly a freighter captain - would need in spades. Penny Johnson may still have our hearts, but Kravitz would most certainly win them over eventually!
