I recall an interview where Pegg mentioned something like Prey but starring Jaylah. I don't think it was more than a pitch and doubt it went anywhere.

I feel as though the ship for a 4th Kelvin-verse movie has sailed. It's been too long since Beyond came out and with the law of diminishing returns that happened with Into Darkness and Beyond there just really doesn't seem to be all that much of a demand for a 4th movie by many people. Personally, I'd love a 4th movie, but I just don't see it happening.
if they had gorn i wonder if they had casted a laana but was axed
I don't know what that is, and neither does Memory Alpha.
i spelt her name wrong
la ana
the one who is related to khan and who encountered the gorns on strange new worlds
La'an.
I'm going to go out on a limb, here, but if Skydance is serious about bringing Trek back to the big screen, and they actually produce something, I seriously doubt it will have anything to do with the KT. As you say, that ship has sailed. I'm hoping however, that whatever they do come up with will be something original and not some stupid nostalgia crap that we've been getting for the last 5+ years.
Any Trek movie with original characters will have to introduce us to them, and to a lesser extent, their world (the planet/ship/status of the Federation, etc. - those things specific to the film and the era it takes place) A movie with familiar characters can have a bit less of that because many people will already know who they are.
Did you know who Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, the Empire and the Rebel Alliance were before you saw Star Wars?
Vaguely. But then it predated me, so I had the chance to hear/read/infer things first.
Imagine if instead of having TNG as a show first, we had TOS and then a movie about TNG in which you introduced everything and everyone - the crew, the ship, the state of the Federation in the 24th century. Everything essential to know about the E-D and its crew (in order to understand what's going on) would have to be introduced in that single film, which takes time that could be spent on more story and spectacle and building on what you know. A TV show can have moments that would be cut from a film because it has (in those days) 26 hours or so, give or take commercials etc., not 2 1/2 hours.

I think a general audience would be just fine watching a Star Trek movie if they’ve never seen Star Trek before, and only ‘vaguely’ knew about it. It’s not like Trek is so deep that the average Joe couldn’t figure out what was going on, even if Kirk and Spock weren’t in it.
Not saying it isn't possible, just that a movie can spend time on other things rather than character introduction from scratch or be shorter if the filmmakers so desire and that information is still available elsewhere to those who want to see it.
If you want context, you can watch episodes of the show; if you don't, you can just watch the movie; you might miss out on extra layers (so that's why they did that) but you can still enjoy what you do see.

I’d bet very few people who went to see TWOK had seen Khan before in ‘Space Seed.’ And you know what? They didn’t have to. The movie made it crystal clear, and with very minimal explanation, just who Khan was and what beef he had with Kirk. And everything was just fine and dandy.
