\"'Section 31' has been near and dear to my heart since I began the journey of playing Philippa all the way back when this new golden age of Star Trek launched,\" Yeoh said in a statement.

She added, \"To see her finally get her moment is a dream come true in a year that's shown me the incredible power of never giving up on your dreams.\"

Production for the movie begins later this year, according to the streamer.
