William Shatner is open to returning to Star Trek as a de-aged Captain Kirk, as long as it’s “not just to make a cameo appearance”

William Shatner is open to returning to Star Trek as Captain Kirk under certain circumstances – and he thinks de-aging technology could be the key. 

“It’s an intriguing idea,” Shatner told The Canadian Press. “It’s almost impossible. But if it was a great role and so well-written and if there were a reason to be there not just to make a cameo appearance, but if there were a genuine reason for the character appearing, I might consider it.”
