Paul Wesley played the role of his life when he joined Star Trek: Strange New Worlds as James T. Kirk , and will be the last person to play a key character first made iconic by the actor largely responsible for his continued success, William Shatner. El papel de Shatner as Capitán Kirk ayudó a lanzar una franquicia cuya popularidad continues hasta el día de hoy, por lo que uno puede imaginar que tuvo que ser un gran viaje para Wesley senttarse a su lado en un avión little después de achieve el papel de science fiction. Paramount + subscribers No doubt he’d love to hear all the Kirk-related stuff they discussed on that flight, but according to Wesley, he couldn’t even tell Shatner about his new great job.
I had the honor of speaking with Paul Wesley before the season finale of star trek: strange new worlds, and he mentioned that chance meeting with William Shatner months ago. I wondered if Shatner had conveyed any wise wisdom for playing Kirk or offering advice, but surprisingly Wesley said he couldn’t even let the actor know that he was playing the character for reasons of secrecy. Wesley broke it all and explained how the match turned out:
Unfortunately, he was under this “We don’t want to announce it” type of thing, which was completely understandable, so I couldn’t talk to him because he was playing very shy. Plus, until the ad came out, she almost didn’t want him to think she was crazy. She was like, ‘What are you talking about? You are not Kirk. Who is this crazy boy sitting next to me? Get me out of here. ‘ So I didn’t really want to go into that. I hope we’ll get there someday.
It is a cruel fate that Paul Wesley was under strict orders not to spread the news and could not even tell William Shatner that he was playing James T. Kirk in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Of course, Shatner eventually found out with the rest of the world and, based on his public reactions, is in favor of Wesley taking over the role.
Paul Wesley I saw William Shatner’s tweet and we talked about it a bit as he continued his story of their plane flight together. Although the couple didn’t talk about James Kirk, they did talk about space in another way:
He just got back from space. We were on a United Airlines flight and I was thinking, “God, this must pale in comparison to what you just went through.” You know, at the end of the day, we didn’t get into character stuff. He tweeted me after the announcement, which I thought was very elegant. He didn’t have to. Nobody asked him to do it. He actually gave him his blessing on him, which I thought was, you know, just a class act. I hope that one day our paths will cross again and that it will be discussed more widely now that the cat is out of the bag.
Hopefully Paul Wesley and William Shatner will get this opportunity in the future, as fans will likely be eager to hear any thoughts and advice Shatner might have the second time they get together. After all, the star Trek The star certainly isn’t afraid to give her opinion on everything Trek-related, so it would be interesting to know if she’s seen Wesley and his thoughts.
The finale of the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds welcomed Paul Wesley as “Captain Kirk”, but not as fans were used to. Kirk was the captain in a “What If” story that happened in a reality where Pike prevented his own debilitating accident, meaning that Kirk never took control of the Agency. When Paul Wesley returns as Kirk in Season 2, he will return to the canonical timeline, long before he officially becomes captain.
Co-showrunner Henry Alonso Myers told Gossipify I hope Kirk is different in the upcoming second season, so it will be interesting to see how different the character is and how the portrayal is dive into other things We know the character.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 is currently available for streaming on Paramount + (opens in a new tab) . Season 2 is on the way and, with work already done on Season 3, it looks like we may have some time to see Paul Wesley’s Kirk in the future.
