Despite never being broadcast initially, the original Star Trek pilot is still incredibly important to the entire series. It laid the groundwork for the show’s core ideas, introduced Captain Pike, and shaped the character of Spock as envisioned by Leonard Nimoy. Strange New Worlds particularly draws heavily from this first pilot, titled “The Cage.” In fact, Star Trek might not have existed at all if the pilot hadn’t impressed studio executives enough to give Gene Roddenberry another opportunity with “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” Interestingly, a minor alteration nearly derailed the whole project.

As reported by Deadline, Hasbro’s head, Cocks, described the company’s strategy in entertainment as building lasting brand opportunities. CFO Gina Goetter acknowledged that selling eOne to Lionsgate in 2023 had shaped their current approach. Despite this, Hasbro is actively growing its partnerships with major studios like Disney, Universal, Warner Bros., Paramount, Lionsgate, and especially Netflix. Recently, Netflix chose Hasbro (along with competitor Mattel) as the official toy maker for KPop Demon Hunters, following the film’s huge popularity on streaming.
