Doug Jones, Michelle Yeoh and Anthony Rapp have been announced as the first three actors cast for Star Trek: Discovery.
Jones will play Lt. Saru, a Starfleet science officer and an alien species new to the Star Trek universe.
Yeoh is set to play Captain Georgiou, the Starfleet captain aboard the starship Shenzhou.
Rapp will beam aboard as Lt. Stamets, an astromycologist, fungus expert and Starfleet science officer on the starship Discovery.
Btw it would appear that the Shenzhou is named for the first manned spaceship launched by the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the Shenzhou 5.
