Sir Patrick Stewart is ready to board the USS Enterprise once again, following the conclusion of his series Star Trek: Picard.

The legendary Jean-Luc Picard actor has only just finished promoting the final season of his Star Trek spinoff series, where he reunited with his Next Generation co-stars to battle the Borg.

Given Sir Patrick recently expressed his willingness to play Picard again someday, fans have speculated that a new film for the Next Generation crew would be ideal.

Speaking to IndieWire, Sir Patrick backed the film spinoff idea: "I think we could do a movie, a Picard-based movie. Now, not necessarily at all about Picard but about all of us. And to take many of those wonderful elements, particularly from season 3 of Picard and take out of that what I think could be an extraordinary movie."

He went on: "I keep telling people and mentioning it, and so far there's been no eager response, but it might well happen. And that would be I think a very appropriate way to say, 'And goodbye folks'."

Sir Patrick previously starred in a series of Star Trek: The Next Generation movies back in the 1990s and 2000s, starting with the crossover film Star Trek Generations in 1994 alongside William Shatner.

The Next Generation crew went on to appear in three further feature films — culminating in 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis, where Picard faced an evil clone of himself, played by Peaky Blinders' Tom Hardy.

Star Trek: Picard picked up 20 years after the events of Nemesis and dealt with the former USS Enterprise captain returning to duty to save the Federation from an invasion of the Borg.

Star Trek: Picard streams on Paramount+, and UK viewers can also see the show on Prime Video.
