Article Summary
It sounds like a broken in record for over 30 years , but there are those from within the Star Trek community who have been interested in seeingWilliam Shatner’sreturn in some class to the dealership since his valiant forfeit in 1994’sGenerationsthat saw him save the Galax urceolata one last fourth dimension , but alongsidePatrick Stewart’sJean Luc Picard . While Stewart was able-bodied to have a hand in rewriting his ending with the third and last season ofPicardgathered around his U.S.S. Enterprise - 500 crewmates for a last bout of poker a laThe Next Generationfinale " All Good Things … ,“The Original Seriesfans were left to wonder if it was truly it for Shatner ’s Kirk given what most of his pull through castmates were able to do since theDavid Carsonfilm .
William Shatner Reveals He’s Been Approached About a Possible Star Trek Return for Paramount
At Fan Expo Vancouver , the 93 - year - old Canadian legend revealed at a panel that a writer from Paramount working on an unnamed Star Trek series had approached him about the opportunity . " I have been postulate to come back as Kirk so many times . If Kirk is going to make out back , it has to intend something , " Shatner say ( viaThe Direct ) . " It has to be the show . But I was so impressed by this writer , so I said permit ’s speak after I ’m done in Vancouver . So I ’m awaiting a sales talk to make it the show , it should come on Monday or Tuesday . "
The first endeavor at a Kirk issue was the fitly titledStar Trek : The Return , a novel written by Shatner , Garfield Reeves - Stevens , andJudith Reeves - Stevensin 1996 that involved a plot between the Romulans and the Borg , which also play back theTNGcrew as well . Coincidentally enough , Abrams would employ the Romulans ' work with Borg engineering science with Nero ’s ( Eric Bana ) ship , the Narada , in his 2009Star Treksoft reboot . Romulans would also factor inPicardseason one working with Ex - Borg on a salvaged Borg third power .
The Abrams picture show would also be the first major live - natural action opportunity as he create the Kelvin Universe timeline not to countermine the quality canon and to supply a unused take on a youngerTOScrew . Led byChris Pinein the Kirk office , the holdover who would lapse the torch wasLeonard Nimoy , who reprised his persona as Spock , named " Spock Prime " for the plastic film to differentiate . There was a setting pitched where Spock Prime open up a digital message from Kirk wishing him a " felicitous Birthday , " but Shatner gibe at the estimation of a cameo . Meanwhile , in the Paramount+ epoch , Walter Koenig , who play Pavel Chekov inTOS , had a outspoken cameo in thePicardseries finale , playing his character ’s grandson Anton Chekov , named after the lateAnton Yelchin , who played his character in the Kelvin plastic film . George Takeireprised his part as Sulu inStar Trek : Lower Decks .
With Nimoy ’s passing in 2015 , the fortune for their Kirk and Spock together again passed , but thanks toSam Witwer , Lawrence Selleck , and CG engineering science , fans generate to see the two share a memorable speechless net moment in the Roddenberry Archive and OTOY shortUnificationfrom author - directorCarlos Baena , who also brought back buff favorites likeGary LockwoodandRobin Curtisto reprise theirTOS - era persona of Gary Mitchell and Saavick . Baena also utilise the narrative fromPicardshowrunnerTerry Matalaswith Kirk ’s biomonitor at the Daystrom Station seen in season three and the character reference of Yor ( Gordon Parpley ) , introduced inDiscovery , who wore 23rd one C - era uniform but appeared in the thirty-second century .
As far as this untitled Star Trek project from Paramount could be , Lower DecksstarTawny NewsomeandJustin Simienare developing a half - hour live - action work comedy . It could show some promise if it ’s anything like theMike McMahanseries , but not something I can see occur . The reason being , during the time of Takei ’s cameo , when Boimler ( Jack Quaid ) find his elbow room to Kirk ’s farm and the former ensign found Sulu instead , Boimler react , " Even practiced " as a nod to Takei and Shatner ’s feud . The use of hologram technical school in the 32nd hundred also lends to the possibility withStarfleet Academy .
The most plausible scenario that prepare sense to me is the Kelvin universe ’s fourth untitledStar Trekfilm , which is slat to be the last . Time change of location is a pop theme in the dealership , and with Nimoy ’s Prime meetingZachary Quinto’sKelvin opposite number , it would be appropriate if Shatner ’s Kelvin future Kirk met with his younger counterpart to help see him on his final journey . It would not only put Shatner in the Star Trek spotlight one last clip , the room it did for Nimoy , but it pop the question the proper blockage that does n’t necessarily ask to see Kirk die again ; it would n’t deflower the existing canyon of having to resurrect his prime twin . It would also give him the sort of father - Word case of narrative Shatner never dumbfound with the lateMerritt Butrick , who played his son David in two of the Trek picture show – The Wrath of Khan(1982 ) andThe Search for Spock(1984 ) . Aside from the lack of much quality screen meter , the only other mention of the relationship was inTOS’sfinal feature in 1991’sThe Undiscovered Country .
