George Takei Disses William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy

Synopsis

George Takei expresses his curiosity about a role in J.J. Abrams' version of Star Trek, reflecting on how original cast members might feel about the new films. He humorously imagines Bill Shatner running through the corridors as Captain Kirk, comparing it to Chris Pine's portrayal. Takei mentions Leonard Nimoy's return in both Abrams movies, noting how Nimoy reprised his role as Spock, looking 'ancient and grizzled.' He suggests that he could also return in a cameo, possibly as an older descendant of Sulu or even as an alien creature, showcasing his playful attitude towards the franchise and its legacy.
