William Shatner might be planning to revisit a place no man has returned before (although perhaps a select few have), as the 93-year-old icon hinted at reviving Captain Kirk’s role, suggesting that not even death or a mountain range can deter a Starfleet captain.
What did William Shatner say?
Captain Shatner shared with his 2.4 million fans that discussions are ongoing between him and Paramount regarding a possible comeback for Star Trek.
Apparently, there’s talk about bringing back Captain Kirk, but things aren’t set in stone yet (or is it that the plans are hidden under some rocks?). I’m just keeping my fingers crossed and waiting to find out what Paramount decides.

How could William Shatner’s Captain Kirk Return from the dead?
Approximately three decades ago, William Shatner last graced our screens in the 1994 film “Star Trek: Generations“. In this movie, Captain James T. Kirk is portrayed as passing away. Initially, it seems he perishes early on, ensnared in a mysterious energy band known as the Nexus. However, it’s later revealed that he was actually trapped within it. Years later, Captain Picard discovers him in the Nexus and manages to persuade him to depart. After confronting Dr. Soran, Kirk meets his end dramatically, plunging from a crumbling bridge while saving countless lives. His last utterance? “Oh my.“.
In the universe of Star Trek, it’s not unheard of for characters to return from the dead – such as Spock – so a revival of Captain Kirk isn’t entirely implausible. Interestingly, William Shatner has penned novels where Kirk is reinstated by Borg technology (known as the “Shatnerverse”). It’s worth noting that time travel or even the multiverse could also be potential means for bringing Kirk back to life.
Star Trek reboot in the works?
It’s noteworthy that Skydance Media is rumored to be acquiring Paramount, and this transaction might take place around springtime. Skydance Media, helmed by David Ellison who is known for his passion for television and film, may potentially revive the Star Trek franchise in some capacity.
What’s next for Star Trek?
In a recent turn of events, Paramount has halted “Star Trek: Discovery” and concluded “Star Trek: Lower Decks”. Interestingly, “Discovery” was erased from the continuity. The spin-off film, “Section 31“, has also surfaced but it’s received negative feedback from both critics and fans. However, there’s some good news! This year will see the release of “Strange New Worlds ” Season 3, and it’s been confirmed that a Season 4 is in the works as well.
