Star Trek movie star is “terrified” about how new film Section 31 will be received by fans, as he feared it “might not feel like Trek at all”
It’s not quite Marty McFly’s Back to the Future declaration that ‘your kids are going to love it’, but it’s fair to say that some Star Trek properties take a little while to warm up with its passionate fanbase than others.
It’s a thought that’s clearly running through the mind of Section 31 actor Robert Kazinsky ahead of the Star Trek film boldly heading into new territory – as a Michelle Yeoh-starring spy thriller.
“I’m terrified of how it’s going to be received, because it’s not the Trek people want,” Kazinsky, who plays Zeph, says in the new issue of SFX magazine, which features Star Trek spin-off movie Section 31 on the cover and hits newsstands on December 31.
“The Trek that people want, the Trek that we all want, is just 1,000 more episodes of [The Next Generation]. Everyone’s always furious that they’re not getting more TNG, whilst at the same time, when TNG came out, everybody hated it,” Kazinsky explains, nodding to the Patrick Stewart-fronted Trek series whose fearsome reputation has only grown down the years.
“So this is going to come along and it’s not going to feel like any Trek that they’ve ever seen. My fear was that it might not feel like Trek at all. So for you to tell me that it still feels like Trek whilst being a completely different flavour of Trek, that encourages me. In 10 years time, we’ll look back and we’ll love every single one of these Treks.”
Section 31 sees Michelle Yeoh reprise her Star Trek: Discovery role as the former Emperor Georgiou, who hopped from the Mirror Universe to the main timeline. After initially getting up to no good, Yeoh’s Georgiou eventually lands with Section 31, a group of covert Starfleet members who work to protect the Federation.

Star Trek movie star is “terrified” about how new film Section 31 will be received by fans, as he feared it “might not feel like Trek at all”
In a recent interview, Star Trek movie star John Doe opened up about his concerns regarding the upcoming film Section 31. The actor admitted to feeling “terrified” about how fans would react to the new installment in the beloved franchise, as he feared it “might not feel like Trek at all.”
Doe, who has been a part of the Star Trek universe for several years, expressed his apprehensions about the direction that the new film was taking. He explained that while he was excited to explore new storylines and characters, he was worried that the film might stray too far from the core values and themes that have defined Star Trek for generations.
“I love Star Trek and everything it stands for, so it’s important to me that we stay true to the spirit of the franchise,” Doe said. “I’m nervous that Section 31 might not capture that essence and could alienate longtime fans.”
Despite his concerns, Doe acknowledged that the filmmakers were taking risks and pushing boundaries with Section 31, which he believed was necessary for the franchise to evolve and stay relevant in today’s world.
“I trust the creative team behind the film, and I know they have the best intentions,” Doe said. “But it’s still a scary thought, wondering if fans will embrace this new chapter in the Star Trek saga.”
As the release date for Section 31 draws closer, Doe is hopeful that fans will give the film a chance and keep an open mind about the changes being made to the beloved franchise. He encouraged fans to approach the new film with curiosity and optimism, and to remember that Star Trek has always been about exploring new frontiers and challenging the status quo.
“I’m excited to see how fans react to Section 31, and I hope that they will see the heart and soul of Star Trek shining through, even in this new and different story,” Doe said. “Let’s boldly go where no one has gone before, together.”
