from everyones favourite site - Michael and Picard to team up in a marvel-like 'crossover event miniseries'?

The current two leads of the Star Trek franchise are Discovery‘s Sonequa Martin-Green and the one and only Sir Patrick Stewart, thanks to his return to the fold in Picard. Soon, something of a trinity will be formed with Anson Mount’s Christopher Pike when Strange New Worlds debuts, but for now, the saga has two captains at its helm. And it’s possible that CBS has plans for the Starfleet legends to come face to face.

According to sources close to WGTC – the same ones who told us SNW was happening before that was made official – the network wants to have Michael Burnham and Jean-Luc Picard team up in a future Trek project. It’s currently unclear where exactly this would occur, but we’ve been informed that they definitely have hopes of getting these two characters together and crossing over Discovery and Picard.

This appears to be a separate endeavor from the long-gestating major crossover event miniseries that’s been in the works for a while now, something that’s being described as a Trek version of a Marvel-like team-up. This show would use time travel to unite the casts of DIS, PIC, SNW and Michelle Yeoh’s Section 31 spinoff. Presumably, time travel would also be employed to have Burnham and Picard cross paths, too.

A Discovery movie is likewise believed to be in the works, in addition to its fourth season – which is just about to wrap up shooting in June – and the already-commissioned fifth. Picard, meanwhile, is knee-deep into production on its second run, after a long COVID-19-related delay held it up last year. Expect Discovery season 4 to debut on Paramount Plus later on in 2021, before Picard season 2 follows in early 2022.

Guys. Guys! It’s from the same source that told them that Strange New Worlds was happening! We totally should believe them!

 

[Mudd]

I wish they could prosecute WGTC for fraud.

 

[fireproof78]

My sources say bull

 

[The Old Mixer]

Didn't we already get our crossover with those Mount Paramount spots?

 

[The Wormhole]

Yeah, that gave us Pike befriending Chase the Police Dog from Paw Patrol. I don't need anymore crossovers anymore.

 

[F. King Daniel]

It's a no-brainer that they'll do a Defenders/Crisis on Infinite Earths type thing at some point.

 

[Kelso]

Rather than crossovers, I'd prefer more tie-ins like what we got with the Romulans/Quwat Milat between Picard S1 and Discovery S3.

Loved that!

I kind of want to know what nonsense they're spouting, but I don't want to give them the ad revenue.

Same. But, I feel comfortable in my initial reaction of "BS."

 

[The Wormhole]

Well, I took one for the team and clicked on it. Basically they claim a Kelvin Timeline adaptation of TNG is in the works. Which if true (and I am by no means suggesting I believe this) would mean all the rest of the TNG cast would be recast, but I guess saying Picard's being recast as you're headline works better as clickbait.

We appreciate your sacrifice.

Also, what a BS headline.

Earlier in this thread I predicted JJ doing a reboot or Kelvin TNG. It must have given someone the idea for a clickbait article.

While I wouldn't put it past GFR to use this thread as one of its sources, it should be noted that a Kelvin TNG has been circulating every since Trek XI's release anyway.

We've already done it with Guinan (the same actress who played a young Deloris in Sister Act also played a young Guinan in TNG's "Rascals").

The JJ reboot goes without saying.

Perhaps Trek could do what Marvel is now doing? (Sebastian Stan and Tom Hiddleston are playing The Winter Soldier and Loki, respectively, on both the big screen and streaming).

Today I learned something new.
