UPDATED AUG 4, 2018

It's not every day that you see the Star Trek fandom and the Marvel fanbase rejoicing in unison, but today happens to be just one of those days. Actress Rebecca Romijn - who's best known for playing Mystique in the first X-Men movie, and for playing Joan in 'The Punisher,' has been cast in the upcoming second season of the 'Star Trek: Discovery,' where she is expected to play the role of Number One.

The news was announced at the San Diego Comic-Con late last month and, at that time, it was revealed that she is going to play the role of a character whose appearance in the Star Trek franchise has occurred in the very first pilot episode of 'Star Trek,' back in 1965, but yet somehow, it didn't make it to air.
