A month after director Matt Shakman moved on from the project, the ill-fated fourth Kelvin Timeline Star Trek film has once again taken a major stumble as Paramount Pictures has removed it from its release schedule.

Most recently scheduled for a December 2023 theatrical release, the latest iteration of the Kelvin Timeline’s fourth outing was announced back in February — to the surprise of the cast — and yesterday, it was scrubbed from Paramount’s future release schedules, as reported by Deadline and Variety.

The road back to the Kelvin Timeline has been a rocky one over the last six years, from the premature announcement of a fourth film in July 2016 to a number of fizzled-out projects in the years since, including films from Quentin Tarantino and Noah Hawley.

While Trek continues its small-screen renaissance on Paramount+, it seems that the wait for another theatrical adventure will continue for the foreseeable future.
