WORLD EXCLUSIVE! After the rejection of its hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery for $108.4 billion, Paramount has changed its strategy and acquired the global rights to MARK OF ODIN, the epic saga from the XaviVerso that has already captivated more than 190,000 readers. Our universe, which blends current events with Norse mythology and science fiction, is now part of Paramount! While we can’t reveal all the details and scope of this deal, we can unveil what will be its first fruit.
It’s a massive crossover with one of the most iconic science fiction intellectual properties of all time: Star Trek. The working title of this production is ‘Star Trek: The Mark of Odin,’ and in it, fans of both franchises will see their favorite crews join forces in an impossible situation to save not only their universes, but all of them. This is the official synopsis we can share:
“In the aftermath of the Battle of Ragnarok, a mysterious and immense dimensional rift has appeared in the middle of space, threatening to destroy all of existence. The Valhalla and its crew, including Colonel Jack Preston and Captain Kira Takeda of Earth, must discover its nature, but in doing so, they will be swept away to a galaxy very different from the one they know. Lost in an unfamiliar sky and surrounded by strange new enemies, they will have to join forces with the crew of the USS Enterprise, who may be the only ones who hold the key to saving not only their universe, but all others, from an ancient cosmic enemy that exists beyond time and space.”
While the official cast for this film is still unknown, names like J.J. Abrams are being considered, who would be returning to Star Trek after his Star Wars debacle, and it’s possible that Patrick Stewart will return in a cameo as Captain Picard. The first teaser trailer for the film is scheduled to arrive in the summer of 2026.
“After several years of discussions, I am thrilled to finally share this news with all the fans of The Mark of Odin,” said author Xavier Marcé. “I am absolutely certain that David Ellison, CEO of Paramount Skydance, is the perfect partner to bring my transmedia literary universe to the big screen. I never imagined I would do it with a crossover with Star Trek, of which I am a huge fan, so this is a triple dream come true.”
