Summary If Paramount Pictures one day decided to give Star Trek: Voyager the Kelvin Timeline treatment, which Hollywood stars would play Captain Kathryn Janeway and her crew? The core premise of Voyager was two ideologically opposed groups - Starfleet and the Maquis - being forced to work together after being stranded in the Delta Quadrant. The conflict among Voyager's cast of characters was rarely explored in a meaningful way on television.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Charlie Day is perfectly suited to playing the USS Voyager's morale officer and head of hospitality, Neelix. In Always Sunny, Day plays the naive but easily agitated janitor/bartender of Paddy's Pub. Suceeding Ethan Phillips in the role of Neelix, Charlie Day would nail the Voyager character's sweeter, more vulnerable side, while bringing an edge to Neelix that would make his portrayal unique.

The relationship between Neelix and Kes in Star Trek: Voyager was always slightly odd, not least because of the age gap. A Voyager movie reboot could address this by making Neelix's relationship with Kes more paternal, making Dafne Keen an ideal actress to play the role opposite Charlie Day. Keen made her Hollywood debut in Logan opposite Hugh Jackman and Star Trek: The Next Generation's Patrick Stewart, playing X-23, the adoptive daughter of Wolverine.

From Top Gun: Maverick to the upcoming Twisters, Glen Powell is definitely having his big Hollywood moment. Therefore, Powell would be a box office boon to this hypothetical Star Trek: Voyager movie, and Lt. Tom Paris is his perfect role. Tom Paris is one of Star Trek's best pilots, and had a cockiness that would regularly put him at odds with Captain Janeway and the Voyager crew.

However, like all the best Klingon warriors, B'Elanna Torres was also very funny in Star Trek: Voyager. Jennifer Lawrence demonstrated her exceptional comic chops in the recent romantic comedy No Hard Feelings. Indeed, No Hard Feelings proves that Lawrence has the skills to play B'Elanna's spiky romance with Tom Paris, too. By combining the tough exterior of her action roles with her own brilliant acerbic wit, Jennifer Lawrence would be a terrific successor to Roxann Dawson as Lt.

Manny Jacinto is currently playing Qimir in The Acolyte, giving him the perfect franchise experience that would prepare him for a role in a hypothetical Star Trek: Voyager movie. Harry Kim's close relationship with Captain Janeway in the original TV series was one of Voyager's most touching partnerships. In The Good Place, Manny Jacinto also played a character who was transformed by his friendships with positive female role models, drawing a further parallel with the role of Harry Kim.
