While he was resurrected for a Star Trek comic recently, William Shatner hasn’t been on-screen in a Star Trek project since he was unceremoniously killed off in crossover movie Generations. But would the Star Trek legend be willing to return? Speaking to TVInsider, the original Captain Kirk is more open to a return than you might expect:
“It’s easy to say money, but you know, the longer I played Kirk, I was allowed to put various shades of character in there. I think Captain Kirk — as the captain of the deadly instrument of war, as well as a ship of peace — could reside in somebody like me very well. I mean, I still have the aggression and the instinct for battle, and I’ve gotten myself into very dangerous things. But there is a planing, a smoothing of all those heights and peaks of attitude and activity that comes with age, as [opposed to] aggression, which is sort of a youthful characteristic. Even at 95, I think Captain Kirk would be a really good captain of a spaceship capable of war and peace.”
This is a developing story…
