Michelle Yeoh on charting new course with "Star Trek: Section 31" and how to be resilient in Hollywood

An emperor's past comes back to haunt her in "Star Trek: Section 31," as Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh returns to one of her most compelling roles. The new Paramount+ film follows Emperor Georgiou's journey into Starfleet's mysterious black ops division.

Yeoh, who won the Oscar for Best Actress in 2023 for "Everything Everywhere All at Once," said in interview with "CBS Mornings" on Thursday that she is excited about revisiting the franchise. 

"It started in 2016, when I joined the 'Star Trek' family, when we made 'Discovery,'" Yeoh recalled. "I came on as Captain Philippa Georgiou, the much-loved, kind, benevolent, but strong captain to my number one, Sonequa Martin-Green."
