Sonequa Martin-Green has hopes for Star Trek: Discovery's Captain Michael Burnham to someday cross over with other Star Trek Captains, naming two specific legendary fellow Star Trek series leads. Martin-Green led Star Trek: Discovery for five seasons, with Michael Burnham earning her long-awaited promotion to Captain of the USS Discovery at the end of Star Trek: Discovery season 3. This put Burnham among the lofty stratosphere of Star Trek's greatest Captains.
Speaking to ScreenRant's Joe Deckelmeier at Fan Expo Dallas Star Trek panel, Sonequa Martin-Green indulged the fantasy of Captain Burnham meeting other Star Trek Captains. Martin-Green's choices of who Burnham should cross over with makes sense since, like Michael, they are also pioneering Captains in the Star Trek franchise. Of course, Sonequa also would love for Burnham to go on a mission with all of Star Trek's Captains. Check out Martin-Green's quote below:
ScreenRant: Is there a Star Trek cast that you'd like to cross over with?
Sonequa Martin-Green: Gosh, back to one of your earlier questions about which captain brought me in, I'd be so excited to see more of [Benjamin] Sisko. I don't know what I'd do. I ended up watching a little bit of everything, and I would also love to see more of Janeway, too, because they're all such powerful actors. Let's just have everybody there. I think it would be so amazing to see all the captains come together and have to do a mission.
Why Sonequa Martin-Green's Captain Crossover Choices Make Sense For Captain Michael Burnham
Burnham Has A Lot In Common With Sisko & Janeway
Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) of Star Trek: Voyager also walked so that Burnham could fly on Star Trek: Discovery. While there were other female Captains in Star Trek, Janeway was the first woman to lead a Star Trek TV series. Janeway was also promoted to Admiral after Star Trek: Voyager ended, which is the rank she holds in Star Trek: Prodigy. Like Janeway, Michael Burnham became an Admiral, as seen in the epilogue of Star Trek: Discovery's series finale.
Our Take On Captain Burnham Meeting Star Trek's Captain Sisko & Admiral Janeway
There Are Always Possibilities
Captain Michael Burnham meeting Captain Benjamin Sisko and Captain Kathryn Janeway is a Star Trek fan's dream, but the possibility is remote. Avery Brooks has not portrayed Sisko since Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ended in 1999, and he has retired from acting, although fans continue to hope he could be persuaded to return. Kate Mulgrew returned as Admiral Janeway in Star Trek: Prodigy, but a logical challenge is Captain Burnham living in the 32nd century, hundreds of years removed from Janeway in Star Trek's timeline.Yet in Star Trek, where there's a will, there's a way. It's possible Star Trek could assemble its Captains for an all-star adventure. It might be more likely, however, for Captain Burnham to meet other Captains in some sort of animated Star Trek scenario. Otherwise, Star Trek comics from IDW have been depicting dream crossovers that aren't possible in Star Trek TV and movies. Even if they never meet on-screen, the influence of Captain Sisko and Captain Janeway can be felt in Captain Burnham on Star Trek: Discovery.
