Now the same could happen for Leonard Nimoy’s iconic character Spock from the sci-fi franchise Star Trek.
Leading up to his death, however, the actor cameoed in 2009’s Star Trek and its sequel Star Trek: Into Darkness opposite Zachary Quinto as a younger version of Spock.
It hasn’t been announced that Spock will actually appear in Discovery, but it’s possible that CGI could revive the character one day.
Of course, there’s still a limit to what technology can do, but now there’s the possibility of bringing them back to life with CGI.
