Looks like Star Trek Beyond will use the popularity of Star Wars: The Force Awakens to give itself a little boost of excitement. THR is reporting that the first trailer for Star Trek Beyond will be attached to The Force Awakens along with Captain America: Civil War, X-Men: Apocalypse, and maybe Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.
It’s not really all that surprising that the next chapter of the Star Trek saga would join forces with Star Wars for marketing. After all, J.J. Abrams is producing the Star Trek films as well through his Bad Robot production company.
The report also says the other trailers that could jump on board the Star Wars train are The Jungle Book, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Huntsman Winters War, and Independence Day: Resurgence. So on top of seeing an incredible film, we are going to be treated with some awesome trailers as well, except for TMNT 2, if that ends up being the case.
Star Trek Beyond is being directed by Justin Lin, but there’s still no info on the story. We do know that it will finally see the crew set out on their five-year mission to explore new worlds and new civilizations. Lin previously talked about the film:
"As great as JJ’s films were, there’s still a lot to be mined from these characters. They haven’t really gone on their five-year mission, so what we experienced in the TV show hasn’t been touched on yet. That sets up an opportunity for exploration and the deeper you go, the more you are examining humanity. Those are the things that I absorbed as a kid and hope to tap into and embrace and celebrate. By the time this movie comes out, Star Trek will have been around for 50 years."
Star Trek Beyond will be released on July 8th, 2016.
