That&#8217;s sort of playful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pegg also spoke about Shatner, and the potential to see Captain Kirk in <em>Star Trek 3<\/em>. &#8220;William Shatner is an amazing actor and has such an incredible body of work which transcends just his time as Captain Kirk,&#8221; said Pegg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always all about whether the story is right. There&#8217;s no point &#8216;crowbarring&#8217; these things in as a gimmick because that does the story and the film a disservice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I have no doubt in my mind that he could play Captain Kirk until the day he decides to go off into the final frontier.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><object id=\"flashObj\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1\" \/><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#FFFFFF\" \/><param name=\"flashVars\" value=\"videoId=4259207498001&amp;playerID=871166280001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAACkAQxo~,JbFjHxgqCuak3gK2T7u3p0eDyamGmIu2&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" \/><param name=\"base\" value=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" \/><param name=\"seamlesstabbing\" value=\"false\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"swLiveConnect\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/c.brightcove.com\/services\/viewer\/federated_f9?isVid=1&amp;isUI=1\" bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" flashvars=\"videoId=4259207498001&amp;playerID=871166280001&amp;playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAACkAQxo~,JbFjHxgqCuak3gK2T7u3p0eDyamGmIu2&amp;domain=embed&amp;dynamicStreaming=true\" base=\"http:\/\/admin.brightcove.com\" name=\"flashObj\" width=\"618\" height=\"348\" seamlesstabbing=\"false\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" swliveconnect=\"true\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/shockwave\/download\/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent interview while doing press for his latest film, Man Up, Simon Pegg&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2818],"tags":[2572,2414],"class_list":["post-40771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-beyond","tag-pegg","tag-shatner"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-beyond\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek Beyond<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek Beyond","comment_count":"21","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40771"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40773,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40771\/revisions\/40773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
