Title: Uncovering Star Trek: Section 31's Surprising Cameo
In the recent addition to the Star Trek universe, titled Star Trek: Section 31, jam-packed with unexpected twists, Jamie Lee Curtis graced the screen as "Control." This cyborg leader of the infamous black ops organization, Section 31, wasn't an entirely new face to Discovery fans. The AI villain from the show's second season went by the same name – Control. However, Curtis' appearance was a pleasant surprise, and it was all thanks to Michelle Yeoh, her dear friend and co-star from Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.
Executive producer Alex Kurtzman explained at a press event that Curtis and Yeoh share a deep affection for each other, so when the opportunity to cast Control came up, Yeoh suggested her friend. Inspired by one of the greatest actresses in the world, Curtis jumped at the chance, showcasing her unwavering support for Yeoh and the Star Trek franchise.
This wasn't Curtis' first brush with Star Trek-adjacent material. Her older sister, Kelly Curtis, had a short-lived stint on Deep Space Nine as a dabo girl named Sarda. For Curtis, playing Control was an equally brief but memorable experience. She arrived on set, prepared and dedicated, delivering numerous takes and improvisational lines. Her performance left the production team awestruck, and they couldn't help but marvel at her brilliance and commitment to the role.
Section 31 is now available for streaming on Paramount+. For more news, keep an eye on upcoming Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, delve into the future of Doctor Who, and stay updated on DC Universe's film and TV developments.
