She is a tyrant who "murdered her own people by the millions". And when someone calls her a "bad bitch", she smiles and enjoys the attention.
That's Emperor Philippa Georgiou, played by Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh, in the trailer for Star Trek: Section 31, due out in early 2025.
In the film, Yeoh reprises her role as Philippa Georgiou (pictured center), a character she first played in the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. She is now tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets while facing the sins of her past.
Star Trek: Section 31 was written by Craig Sweeny and directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. It is produced by Alex Kurtzman, Craig Sweeny, Aaron Baiers, Olatunde Osunsanmi, Frank Siracusa, John Weber, Rod Roddenberry, Trevor Roth and Yeoh and is produced by CBS Studios in association with Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment.
It was also revealed at Comic-Con that Miku Martineau will play young Philippa in the film. The rest of the cast includes Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rahl, Sam Richardson, Sven Ruygrok, Robert Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzalez and James Hiroyuki Liao.
