<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/william-shatner">William Shatner</a> revealed what it would take to get him back on the USS Enterprise to reprise his role as a &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; captain after more than 30 years away from the role.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/william-shatner-to-lead-new-reality-competition-series-stars-on-mars">The 92-year-old actor</a> — who is probably best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in the &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; franchise — spoke to the <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/william-shatner-interview-star-trek-career-1235851602/">Hollywood Reporter</a> about his most famous role and whether he would be up for reprising it, if the right opportunity presented itself. 
&#8220;Leonard [Nimoy] made his own decision on doing a cameo [in J.J. Abrams&#8217; 2009 &#8216;Star Trek&#8217;],&#8221; Shatner said. &#8220;He&#8217;s there for a moment, and it&#8217;s more a stunt that Spock appears in a future.&#8221;
&#8220;If they wrote something that wasn&#8217;t a stunt that involved Kirk, who&#8217;s 50 years older now, and it was something that was genuinely added to the lore of &#8216;Star Trek,&#8217; I would definitely consider it,&#8221; he added.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/william-shatner-had-strongest-feelings-of-grief-about-climate-change-during-space-trip-all-i-saw-was-death" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shatner</a> landed the role of Kirk in 1966, but the series was canceled after just 3 seasons. Despite being short-lived, the show earned a cult following and eventually spawned a movie franchise and numerous subsequent TV series like &#8220;Star Trek: The Next Generation,&#8221; &#8220;Star Trek: Enterprise,&#8221; and &#8220;Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,&#8221; among many others.

William Shatner on <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/StarTrek?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#StarTrek</a> V, his only film as a director: &#8220;In my mind, I failed horribly. When I’m asked, &#8216;What do you regret the most?&#8217; I regret not being equipped emotionally to deal with a large motion picture&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/8bVjvdf0UA">https://t.co/8bVjvdf0UA</a>

Shatner also spoke about those various &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; series that have come along since his was canceled and explained why he thought the creator of the original sci-fi series, Gene Roddenberry, wouldn&#8217;t like them at all.
&#8220;He was in the military, and he was a policeman,&#8221; the famous actor said. &#8220;So there was this militaristic vision of ‘You don&#8217;t make out with a fellow soldier.’&#8217;There are strict rules and you abide by the rules. Around that, [the writers] had to write the drama. But within that was the discipline of &#8216;This is the way a ship works.'&#8221;
&#8220;Well, as &#8216;Star Trek&#8217; progressed, that ethos has been forgotten [in more recent shows],&#8221; he added. &#8220;I sometimes laugh and talk about the fact that I think Gene is twirling in his grave. &#8216;No, no, you can’t make out with the lady soldier!&#8221;
In 2021, Shatner famously went from playing a character who had ventured out of our world to being a real-live spaceman when he became the oldest person to travel to space as part of the crew with Jeff Bezos&#8217; Blue Origin spacecraft.
Speaking after he returned to earth, Shatner became emotional talking about how vast and empty it was outside of our planet.
&#8220;I was weeping uncontrollably for reasons I didn&#8217;t know,&#8221; Shatner told THR.  &#8220;It was my fear of what&#8217;s happening to Earth. I could see how small it was. It’s a rock with paper-thin air. You&#8217;ve got rock and 2 miles of air, and that’s all that we have, and we&#8217;re f***ing it up. And, that dramatically, I saw it in that moment.&#8221;
