But for O’Connell- who is SUCH a fanboy he showed up to ask questions during his wife Rebecca Romijn’s “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” panel at Trek: Las Vegas – we think he knows exactly what he’s doing with a big tease. (It’s also worth nothing O’Connell himself is part of the “Star Trek” family, as he’s part…
