Two words: Michelle Yeoh. Two more words: “Star Trek.” If that doesn’t get you excited, we don’t know what will. Okay fine- maybe an official trailer for the upcoming film, “Star Trek: Section 31” starring the Oscar winner as Emperor Philippa Georgiou!

Gergiou joins a secret division of Starfleet (the aforementioned Section 31), tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planets, she also must face the sins of her past.
