Its surprising late-game cameo isn’t about franchise ties at all: It features a familiar actor who’s never appeared in Star Trek before. Section 31 star Michelle Yeoh told Polygon this one was all about the personal, real-world connections she made in her Oscar-winning movie Everything Everywhere All at Once.

This casual Trekkie was admittedly intimidated to take on reviewing a Star Trek movie in the time of streaming sequels, prequels, and spin-offs branching off coveted franchises. But don’t worry, lapsed fans, Star Trek: Section 31 will spend a lot of time explaining the science fiction mumbo-jumbo to you. A LOT of time.

Alok (Omari Hardwick), Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl), Quasi (Sam Richardson), and Wisp (Sven Ruygrok) — after the end of the Star Trek: Section 31 movie showed them not only finding ways to work together but also introduced Jamie Lee Curtis as Control?

The actor returns to the "Star Trek," reprising her character Philippa Georgiou, who leads the franchise's first television movie now streaming on Paramount+.

An incoming holographic transmission arrives from the secret unit's Section 31 director delivering their next dangerous mission and destination. This Control character is played by Michelle Yeoh's good friend and "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" colleague Jamie Lee Curtis!

Yeoh, a face of Balenciaga, connected the film's costume designer Gersha Phillips with the brand to create custom looks for the new "Star Trek" film.

Michelle Yeoh and Sonequa Martin-Green took to the red carpet Wednesday to celebrate the premiere of "Star Trek: Section 31," which lands Friday on Paramount+.
