Not much is known about the upcoming picture, except it will be an origin story and take place decades before the 2009 J.J. Abrams film.

As for Haynes, he directed six episodes of Andor that starred Diego Luna. Additionally, he was behind the popular Black Mirror episode USS Callister, which had a USS Enterprise-inspired theme.

This will be the fourth installment of the rebooted films. It's described as the final chapter by the studio and will more than likely pick up after the crash of the Enterprise in the last film.

It aligns with the movies Star Trek 2009, Star Trek Into Darkness, and 2016's Star Trek Beyond.
