Rumored Details On William Shatner’s ‘Star Trek 3’ Cameo Revealed, Plus: Leonard Nimoy Responds
After someinitial denials,William Shatnerconfirmedlast week he’d been contacted aboutStar Trek 3. So now the question is what exactly he’ll be doing in the movie, and a new report claims to have some of the juicy details.
Meanwhile,Leonard Nimoy, who’s rumored to appear alongside Shatner in the next film, has finally issued a response. Or maybe we should cal it a non-response, since it neither confirms nor denies anything.
Hit the jump to for William ShatnerStar Trek 3cameo details.
Badass Digestwas the one who originally got the scoop about Shatner’s likely cameo inStar Trek 3, and they’re the ones who are coming back now with more details. Here’s what they have to say:
If true, that means Nimoy will be playing a slightly different character this time around. He previously appeared inJ.J. Abrams’Star Trekfilms as Spock Prime, but now it sounds like he and Shatner will both be playing alternate universe versions of themselves.
That is, if Nimoy returns. The actor appeared via Skype at Destination Star Trek 3 and addressed the rumors. “I haven’t seen a script and nothing has been confirmed but I would happy to be involved again,” he told the crowd (viaTrekMovie).
For that matter, it’s worth pointing out that Shatner isn’t locked in yet either. He’s said only that he’s been contacted, not that he’s finalized a deal. Shatner did send out a tweet the other day that got fans buzzing — “I’m baaaaccckk!!!” — but later clarified he was only talking about returning home.
@SuperHeroHype@realboborci@StarTrekMovieI’m baaaccck in LA. I heard Mercury is in retrograde so I suppose we can expect craziness.

And Shatner being Shatner, he seized the opportunity to take a jab at Star Wars fans.
@TrekMovieIt’s easy to explain. They grew up on Star Wars (and before the crazies read into it that wasn’t about JJ!) 😱
