Hold on to your phasers, because there is still hope for Star Trek 4 according to a recent update from Simon Pegg. The Star Trek star, who played Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott in the 2009 reboot and the two subsequent sequels, just said that we might see some changes following the recent acquisition of Paramount by Skydance.

During a panel at the STLV Star Trek convention in Las Vegas last week, Pegg revealed that the new Paramount chairman David Ellison is "a big Star Trek fan," and could be inclined to push the new movie forward as "he cares about the series" (via Collider).

Last time we saw the cast, which included Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock and Zoe Saldaña as Nyota Uhura, was in 2016's threequel Star Trek: Beyond, which followed the 2009 film, and the 2013 sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness.
