New Details On William Shatner's Role In STAR TREK 3; Will He Meet Chris Pine's 'Captain Kirk'?
William Shatner recently confirmed that he will reprise the role which made him famous in Star Trek 3, and now a new report sheds some light on what both his and Leonard Nimoy's roles will entail. It's a lot different to what you might expect, but they WILL interact with some familiar faces...
As Star Trek 3 is being released to coincide with the franchise's 50th anniversary, the fact that they're finally bringing in William Shatner for a cameo appearance feels wholly appropriate. The actor has confirmed that he's been contacted by J.J. Abrams (who is too busy working on Star Wars Episode VII to helm this movie) and now Badass Digest have some very interesting details about how he'll factor into the Star Trek Into Darkness follow-up. The older Kirk will apparently meet the Chris Pine version and both versions of Spock - Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy - will also be present. However, they reportedly won't the alternate timeline versions we've caught a glimpse of thanks to the events of the 2009 reboot. Instead, they will be playing older versions of THESE current iterations. How that will come to pass remains to be seen, but it should be interesting.
