I feel like this isn't going to happen, certainly not as an R-rated film. I mean, I suppose it could. I'm just not holding my breath.
It's very hard to take a franchise from being an all audiences type of storytelling to a restricted audience type of storytelling. Star Trek, in particular, is known as family entertainment, and for longtime fans, it's a point of pride to discuss how they learned about Trek from a parent, how they grew up with it, and how they've introduced their kids to it. If it's not as strongly tied to the brand as it is with Disney, Star Trek historically has been an all-ages proposition.
But there's a lot that can change between now and late 2019/early 2020, which is the earliest that Tarantino would be available to direct it.
We should be getting Trek movies every two years or so, it's a shame that they haven't even come close. If they had started making the Chris Hemsworth-Chris Pine teamup that they announced before Beyond opened, it could be ready for next summer. But that movie doesn't appear to be happening anymore.
