As a huge Star Trek fan, I’ve been following Alex Kurtzman’s work with the franchise since J.J. Abrams’ 2009 film. He’s been a really central figure ever since, and his production company, Secret Hideout (founded in 2014), has been behind every Star Trek show starting with Discovery. I was reading on TrekCentral that their deal with Paramount is up in 2026, and people are wondering if it will be renewed. If not, it could mean a big shift in direction for the upcoming Star Trek movie – though honestly, things were already heading towards some changes anyway.

With fans buzzing about Hedorah potentially being the big bad in Toho’s Godzilla: Minus One, many are also curious about what will bring Godzilla and Kong together to fight in the MonsterVerse. The MonsterVerse movies have already featured classic Godzilla enemies like King Ghidorah, Rodan, and MechaGodzilla, alongside the ally Mothra. After battling new monsters – The Scar King and Shimo – in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the next film will likely introduce another powerful foe from the original Toho series. The rumored title, “Supernova,” hints at a threat from outer space, and this could point to SpaceGodzilla as the villain.
