Space. The final frontier. And that’s where Michelle Yeoh is making a name for herself, already! The Oscar-winning actress is taking command in a new Star Trek movie, and she’s telling Deco all about it.
Michelle Yeoh (as Philippa Georgiou): “What are you doing in my space station?”
Omari Hardwick (as Alok Sahar): “I’m giving you a chance to get back in on the action on a galactic scale.”
Michelle Yeoh (as Philippa Georgiou): “What a cute idea!”
Reach for the stars! Michelle Yeoh is making history in “Star Trek: Section 31.”
Kacey Rohl (as Rachel Garrett): “Thirty-one is a black ops division. Spy work.”
Michelle Yeoh (as Philippa Georgiou): “It’s just a place for people to bend the rules.”
Kacey Rohl (as Rachel Garrett): “Starfleet is here to make sure no one commits murder.”
The actress is back as Philippa Georgiou in this few film, making her the first woman to ever lead a Star Trek movie. I guess you could say it’s been a long time coming.
Michelle Yeoh: “The first time I played her, in “Star Trek Discovery” — which was in 2016 when we started to make that TV series — the possibilities were just mind-blowing.”
This time around, Michelle is trying to stop a major galactic threat, and with billions of lives at stakes, that means you need a crew willing to do things a little differently.
Michelle Yeoh: “Emperor Georgiou is scary as hell and brutal, and what is she? These are very flawed characters. Only flawed characters get to go to Section 31.”
Sure, she may be a little rough around the edges, but that’s what makes her so compelling.
Michelle Yeoh: “As an actor, you’re constantly searching, and when you find a character and a premise that’s so out there, you know, you shouldn’t let it go, and that’s what we did.”
“Star Trek: Section 31” is now streaming on Paramount+.
