Actress Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Marco Polo) is the first cast member announced for Star Trek: Discovery.

She will be a recurring character on the reimagined Star Trek series, but is not the female lead according to reports.

Variety reports CBS has been looking for a younger, African-American or Latino actress for the role and would prefer a fresh face rather than a star.

Discovery is being executive produced by Bryan Fuller, who recently stepped back from his role as showrunner.

It is due on Netflix next May.
