What should they do and who should play them?

Adam Beach should play Chakotay as a commander of a Starfleet scoutship.

Janeway should return as someone arrived from the Mirror Universe hell bent carving out her own kingdom in the Delta Q with a different crew and Voyager. played by Kate Mulgrew.

Ron PERLMAN should be the Abramverse General Martok fighting for the destruction of Klingon nobility and all privileges given by birth in a rebellion inside the Klingon Empire.

Q should be played by Peter Dinklage. He should be some sort disbled Q who does have some jedi-like powers but is not omnipotent like the De Lancie Q.

Counselor Troi should be played by Natalie Dormer and she should have the same role she had in TNG.

Lets not forget its 20 years since Nero created the new timeline, plenty of time for someone to become a Chakotay or a Martok..
 
I guess that this kind of thing is going to persist for several years if not decades. TNG had massive viewership (becoming the most-watched syndicated drama show in history), so there's always going to be a suspicion that someone will have the will to make it happen. Voyager and DS9, not so much. I don't think they should be introduced to the current movie chronology at all. That would smack of a franchise getting too self-referential, and if you're gonna do that then why reboot at all?
 
They should just have nuPicard, nuJaneway and nuSisko all show up in Kirk's time, with no explanation whatsoever. It'd be fun just for the online reaction.

Being self-referential worked for ENT.
 
^ But that was kind of the point of the show, wasn't it? A movie franchise like Star Trek needs to appeal to a general audience in order to justify its cost and can't really afford to shift its focus too much in favour of existing fans. The odd in-joke or reference, certainly, but it should stop there.
 
The whole Spock character was there just to please the fans and the reimagined old characters would please everyone.
 
Spock is an iconic, distinctive and widely recognisable pop culture figure, and irrevocably tied to Nimoy. Janeway and Sisko are far less recognisable.
 
I think it is inevitable that someday someone will feel the need to do a TNG-trek big-screen reboot. However, I think that day is far enough off that the actors who may play many of the TNG roles are not known today.

For example, the choice of (taking the OP's example) Natalie Dormer to play Troi may be a good idea today, but five or ten years ago she would not have been on our radar screens, so-to-speak. Five or ten years from now (or, most likely, even longer for a TNG big-screen reboot), there would probably be several other actresses we never heard of yet who will be "good" possible choices.
 
In this universe, pretty much all of the characters of the next gen should not exist. Then again, the fact that the main characters of TOS could so coincidentally come together shows that these writers don't care about what should happen.

Not unless, like me, you consider ST2009 to have simply been a reboot, and then roll with that idea. Even if you don't consider it a reboot, using your argument the writers of "Mirror Mirror" didn't care, because so many main characters coincidentally came together there, also. Plus it was quite a coincidence that the both the "evil" and the "good" Enterprise were visiting the Halkens.

Having said all that, I really doubt we will see a 24th century character show up in Abrams' TOSverse, at least not in this next film.

Yeah. We haven't even gotten the second Abrams movie, yet. If there are three or four Trek movies with this cast, and they are generally well-reviewed and commercial successes, there may be some sentiment for a TNG-type reboot on the big screen. But we're speculating so far into the future that it's kind of silly to even think that far ahead.

ST09 was 40 years after TOS left TV and 18 or so years after the last TOS movie. That timeline would put TNG on the big screen again somewhere in the 2020 or 2030s. Little early to start casting.

There's also the credibility factor. Coincidences given at least a nod-and-a-wink to led to the TOS seven getting together. It would be quite a stretch beyond coincidence or healing timelines to see the TNG seven on the Enterprise in the JJVerse. (If they'd even go with that.)
 
Meh. I'm not concerned with the coincidences of the characters coming together. It's just a movie.

Like I said in my post above, there aren't too many TOS fans who had a real problem with "Mirror Mirror", and the Mirror Universe's characters coincidentally all coming together (and coincidentally both universes' characters deciding to visit with the Halkens, and coincidentally both deciding to beam up simultaneously).

...Or, for the TNG fans, the coincidence of all of those different Enterprises from all of those different universes showing up in about the same place at about the same time in the episode 'Parallels'.
