Star Trek: Section 31 officially makes Michelle Yeoh's impact on Star Trek movies the equivalent of what Kate Mulgrew's Captain Kathryn Janeway meant to Star Trek TV shows. Premiering January 24 on Paramount+, Star Trek: Section 31 is directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny. Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+, and it marks the return of Michelle Yeoh as her iconic anti-heroine, Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery.
Why It Took Michelle Yeoh To Become The First Female Lead Of A Star Trek Movie Yeoh Is Star Trek's First Academy Award-Winning Leading Lady Close Michelle Yeoh is the first woman to be the lead of a Star Trek movie. Further, Michelle Yeoh is positioned as the first and best possible woman to lead a Star Trek movie.
Posts 6 Michelle Yeoh's global fame and prestige are amplified by her status as an Academy Award winner, and Yeoh now becomes the first Oscar winner to headline a Star Trek movie. Even better, Yeoh loves the Star Trek franchise and pushed for Section 31 to be made, working it into her increasingly busy schedule.
In contrast, Emperor Georgiou was the authoritarian dictator of the Terran Empire in the Mirror Universe. Georgiou ruled through fear and murder, and she was responsible for the deaths of millions as well as the subjugation of numerous alien races. Through flashbacks, Star Trek: Section 31 will depict how the young Philippa Georgiou rose to power. And yet, Georgiou is also on a path to redemption.
Michelle Yeoh Continues Star Trek’s Women Making History Star Trek Has Come A Long Way With Female Representation Michelle Yeoh is the latest woman in Star Trek to shatter the invisible glass ceiling to make history. Star Trek actually introduced the first female Starfleet Captain seen on-screen in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, when Madge Sinclair played the unnamed Captain of the USS Saratoga.
