“I am not able to say much, but I can say that it is Paramount’s intent to figure out the Star Trek side of movies and what’s going on there. There’s every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future. There’s a lot of secrecy around what’s going to happen there. But there is a plan getting into place. And we’re very excited to see it return to the big screen.”

Honestly, this seems more like a "plan to make a plan" to me.

"There's every intent of a new movie coming out in the very near future"

I'm reading this to mean that the S31 movie is coming out sometime this summer. Between Discovery and Lower Decks. After October or so doesn't sound 'very neat future' to me.

I'm also not reading much into the 'trying to figure out' how to get the movies to the big screen. We know that S31 will be a P+ exclusive. Regardless of if it's because of some preexisting contract with what was CBS All Access when the original project got green lit all those years ago or because S31's lore leans too heavily on S1-3 Discovery to stand on its own, S31 was never going to be in major theaters.

The purported Picard, Kelvin 4, or even the pitched Lower Decks movies? Those are probably going to actually be in theaters.

So long as it's not every damned year with 5 spin offs and a Disney world parade.
