The other Kirk to which the question refers has been played by Chris Pine across all three of the newest Star Trek movies.
Since the rebooted big screen Star Trek back in 2009, the Enterprise’s original Captain Kirk, William Shatner, has been asked whether he will ever be returning to the sci-fi franchise.
William Shatner played James T. Kirk for the final time in the 1994 venture, Star Trek Generations, which ended with the characters death while working with Star Trek: The Next Generation captain Jean-Luc Picard to stop a deadly missile.
