Not just a movie. Anatoli Knyazev (a.k.a. the KGBeast) appeared in a small role in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and was also a recurring character on Arrow (played by the great David Nykl).
If you could make one trek novel canon which would you choose?

- Start date
Plus appearing in animation in Harley Quinn and as a background character in Justice League Unlimited.
I love that story! Mike W. Barr and Dan Jurgens knocked themselves out on that one.
Hey, I never said it had to endure ALL the way back.
Just suggesting the Progenitors may have come to light in some fashion at some point in the past (say, to the Manraloth, to name one ancient - book only - race, of your acquaintance; or other ancient people who might have preserved stories)
But the overall suggestion was to see the Preservers as a more general idea, allowing for flexible interpretation.
Sure, but as I said, there's no in-universe reason to link them to the Progenitors at all, because they have nothing in common. Creating something that doesn't exist and preserving something that already exists are opposite ends of the process, so it makes no sense to equate them. The only parallel is metatextual, the fact that they're attempts by writers of the TV shows to make excuses for all the humanoid aliens.
Tough call. I'd love for New Frontier to be canon again.
But if I had to choose one for concepts and ideas, I'd probably say I'd like Vanguard.

My apologies. Revise to, "Would like to see more references to it in future Expanded Universe material."
Maybe as a tribute to Peter David given his health issues too.
Honestly New Frontier was so barmy they could probably carry on in the current continuity as if nothing happened, carrying on all their old storylines.
"Hey, Eppie, we entered another reality. YOU'RE DEAD HERE! Damn Borg!"
I'd also want to make Andorian reproduction nonsense canon again.
It would be nice if Star Trek had an equivalent of Big Finish that Doctor Who has with the original actors. It would allow these to be brought to life that way. But American actors are far more expensive than British ones.
It wouldn’t be canon, but it would be much closer to canon.

Sadly, it almost happened with SLAYERS as the actors from Buffy were all into it but then Disney smacked it down hard.
What did Disney do to Slayers?
They forbid the cast from getting together to do more audiobooks as they were afraid doing a series with the original cast would distract from their own attempts to revive Buffy.
So they cancelled what had been plans for an ongoing series after the first one was a huge success.
How about Coda? I wanna watch everyone die horribly then have their timeline erased from the multiverse.
Like if Avengers just finished with Infinity War.

I for one would have been overall, happy - if the Coda ending was... less drastic. A hint more open ended, maybe...?
Still, it was decidedly... powerful.

For me, it’ll always be a tossup between Diane Duane’s The Wounded Sky, John M. Ford’s The Final Reflection, and Joe Haldeman’s Planet of Judgment, all of which have characters or elements I would have dearly loved to see onscreen. The Final Reflection’s Emmanuel Tagore remains one of my favorite characters in any iteration of Star Trek.
