A new rumour suggests that CBS All Access is looking for a new actor to fill the shoes of one James T Kirk.
For a long time we have heard rumours of a new Star Trek: Enterprise series, captained by Anson Mount as Captain Pike and it seems that the show may also want to include a younger Kirk too.
The series will feature several classic characters including Spock and Number 2, so perhaps we shouldn’t be that surprised that we may see Kirk too.
According to the rumour: “CBS All Access is currently in the process of casting James T Kirk on their upcoming Star Trek: Discovery spin-off series centred around Captain Pike, titled Star Trek: Enterprise.”
As for who they are considering, the rumour goes on to say that CBS want The Mandalorian star Jake Cannavale for the role. Cannavale played a young, up-and-coming bounty hunter, Toro Calican, that the Mandalorian helped find a bounty.
The rumour also states that he has already tested with Star Trek: Discovery Spock actor Ethan Peck, through Skype.
Would an Entrprise series with the original series’ characters hold any interest for you? Let me know, gang…

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
