The fourth instalment of `Star Trek` has been pulled by Paramount from its planned film lineup. According to Variety, previously, the movie was scheduled to premiere on December 22, 2023, and was made by J.J. Abrams`s Bad Robot.

The announcement came about a month after director Matt Shakman left the `Star Trek` movie. That movie was supposed to mark Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as Bones, John Cho as Sulu, and Simon Pegg as Scotty fourth cinematic outing. After `Spider-Man: No Way Home` director Jon Watts left that movie in April, Shakman was successfully courted by Marvel Studios to direct the `Fantastic Four` reboot, reuniting the `WandaVision` director with the studio.
