The Star Trek legend says he's open to play Captain Kirk again if there is a good reason to do so.
Star Trek legend William Shatner isn't opposed to returning as Captain Kirk — and he's even open to using digital de-aging to portray a younger version of the character. Speaking with The Globe and Mail, Shatner said that the idea of reprising Captain Kirk is"intriguing" so long as there's a good idea for it.
Shatner also had some ideas for how Captain Kirk could make an appearance, considering that the character's last appearance was in 1994's Star Trek Generations where the character was killed off. Shatner said that he could potentially portray a younger version of the character, citing digital de-aging technology that"takes years off of your face, so that in a film you can look 10, 20, 30, 50 years younger than you are." He also suggested that the character could be resurrected.
William Shatner Has Said He'd Be Open to Captain Kirk Returning Via AIThe idea of Shatner reprising Captain Kirk by way of digital de-aging isn't the only way the actor would consider returning to the role. Shatner has said that he's open to the character returning through AI, though he would only want it to happen under specific circumstances.
