“WandaVision” director Matt Shakman has closed a deal to direct the next untitled “Star Trek” film for Paramount and Bad Robot, according to an individual with knowledge of the project. Shakman was nominated for an Emmy earlier Tuesday for Outstanding Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for “WandaVision.” The show from Marvel Studios garnered 23 Emmy nominations.
Lindsey Beer and Geneva Robertson wrote the script. JJ Abrams is producing via his Bad Robot banner.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, including whether the new film will be set in the same universe as the previous trilogy of films starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.
