The legendary Captain Kirk considers being “resurrected” in some way in a series or film of the saga
It seems that after the relative success of ‘Star Trek: Picard’, another old star of the science fiction franchise has been bitten by the bug to star in an adventure again. At least that’s what it hints at William Shatnerthe notorious Captain Kirk, who claims that The door is open to returning to Star Trek…even at 93 years of age.
This is what the actor expressed in a recent interview regarding his documentary ‘You Can Call Me Bill‘. Although nothing is firm, Shatner declares that the idea of returning intrigues him… but only through a trick:
«It is an intriguing idea. It’s almost impossible. But if it was a great role and well written and if there was a reason for it not to be just a cameo but there was a genuine reason for the character to appear, I can consider it.

And the actor, who doesn’t do anything without a thread, also has an idea to appear again in the franchise and appreciates that is done with digital rejuvenation technologythe famous “deaging“, taking advantage of the fact that he has recently signed to be a spokesperson for a software company specialized in a technology that “It takes years off your face, so in the movie you look 10, 20, 30, 50, years younger.”
In this way, Shatner throws out an idea to recover Captain Kirk after his death in ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’, 30 years ago:
«A company that wants to freeze my body and brain for the future may be a good way to do it. “We’ve got Captain Kirk’s frozen brain here,” a supposed, “Let’s see if we can bring back a little bit of this, pinch of salt, pinch of pepper. Oh, look at that. Here’s Captain Kirk!”
Of course, with the pace that the Star Trek series and movies are going, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the scriptwriters took advantage of some excuse to attempt “Kirk’s resurrection.” Another thing is that it fits, at least, in the projects that we will see in the near future.
