According to a news post over on Badass Digest, there are early signs that William Shatner has had a role written for him in the third Star Trek film. We already know that the actor had a role written for his character in the first Star Trek reboot, but for one reason or another, he never appeared in it. With Leonard Nimoy having already returned to the new, soon to be trilogy of Star Trek films, there should be no surprise that Roberto Orci - the director of Star Trek 3 and a massive fan of the series - wants to reunite the two characters on-screen for the first time in decades. There's still a ways to go yet before the third film even begins shooting, so there's plenty of time for Shatner to accept the role if the report is genuine, but whether he will or not is another matter entirely. The actor is well-known for being rather finicky when it comes to reprising his role in the Star Trek universe; so even if there is a role for him, there's absolutely no guessing as to whether Shatner will actually agree to it.
