The 2009 Star Trek film had the actor playing a younger version of Shatner’s character of Kirk.
As far as Pine and Shatner are concerned, their worlds are unlikely to overlap anytime soon in a professional setting, in terms of their involvement with the Star Trek franchise.
For Shatner, watching Pine take over a role that has long defined his career produced mixed feelings.
William Shatner has had a rich Hollywood career, with his role as Captain James T. Kirk cementing a place in pop culture for decades.
