No Shatner in Star Trek 2
1 min readAccording to the man himself, William Shatner won’t be seen in next year’s Star Trek 2.
Answering a fan question at the Calgary Expo in Canada, Shatner admitted that he would again not be in a J.J. Abrams Trek film. “I’ve been an acquaintance of J.J.,” he said. “But I’m afraid no, no, I will not be in Star Trek 2.”
Shatner is still keeping busy though, with books, documentaries and guest appearances on TV shows. His new book, Shatner Rules: Your Key to Understanding the Shatnerverse and the World at Large, will release in October. The Shatner-produced The Captains will air next month and Shatner will be a guest star on an episode of the USA comedy Psych, where he will play a con man father of a detective.
About The Author
Good. Star Trek needs to focus on treading new ground. Shatner’s time is over. Let’s leave it like that.
The baton was passed in Star Trek XI, so I don’t think anyone would realistically expect this.
It’d be a bit like in Star Trek: First Contact bringing another TOS character back to kill.
It would be great to see Shatner in a new STAR TREK…he can play anything from a uncle to a klingon !
