I think Star Trek should bring back Chris Pine (but not as Captain Kirk)

Chris Pine should return to the Star Trek franchise, but I don’t think he should necessarily return as Captain James T. Kirk. Chris Pine began his journey in the final frontier in JJ Abrams Star Trek (2009)Playing a character many thought would only ever belong to William Shatner. Pine brought Kirk’s humor, bravery, and selflessness back to life After Shatner’s last screen appearance as the good captain in 1994 Star Trek: Generations. Pine was in two more reboot films, Star Trek: Into Darkness In 2014 and Star Trek: Beyond in 2016.

Since then, Chris Pine has not reappeared in any Star Trek Timeline, not movie or TV show. However, in his time back on Earth, Pine has dipped his toes into other areas of the entertainment industry by writing, directing and producing projects. In 2023, Pine wrote, directed, produced and starred in his own film Pullman. All this happened as the sequel Star Trek: Beyond was passed back and forth between creative teams. I think Chris Pine should lead one of these teams and make the elusive sequel a reality.

Chris Pine should come back to Star Trek as a director

Poolman proved Pine’s willingness and ability to direct a movie

Although Pullman It’s not a critical or commercial success, it indicates Payne has a future behind the camera. He seems to enjoy the art of filmmaking, from behind-the-scenes details to playing the starring role. For me, Pine’s first movie as a director is not measured by quality, but rather by his willingness to make it in the first place. After decades of acting, it’s nice to see such a familiar face take on other roles in the industry and wear different creative hats. Despite Pullmanpoor reception, Pine now has experience leading a film project.

Since we know Chris Pine wants to make a low-budget Star Trek movie to please long-time fans, now is the perfect time to see that dream come to fruition. Even if the original crew of JJ Abrams’ reboot film doesn’t return, Pine could still try his hand at a Star Trek Film in the near future. Since the first streaming movie of the franchise, Michelle Yeoh Star Trek: Episode 31is set to premiere in 2025, The possibilities for Pine’s creative journey in Star Trek are endless. Both film and television projects are potential avenues for a Payne-led project.
