Star Trek Has Already Hinted At Resurrecting William Shatner’s Captain Kirk
Kirk could come back using A.I. deep fake technology
The version of Captain James T. Kirk that William Shatner originated inStar Trek : The Original Series and portrayed from 1966 - 1994 was killed off inStar Trek Generations . Since then , Shatner has not canonically returned as Kirk , while other actors likeChris Pine in J.J. Abrams’Star Trekmovies , and Paul Wesley inStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , have played younger rendering of the Captain of the Enterprise . However , Star Trek : Picardseason 3 ’s Easter egg where James T. Kirk ’s body is in Starfleet storage hints that theCaptain could be brought back one mean solar day , and this would in all likelihood be via A.I. and deep fake engineering science .
