William Shatner To Return For Melbourne Comic-Con

Staff Writer

He returns after a great reception in Adelaide and Perth.

More William Shatner William Shatner Profile

Everyone loves William Shatner; he's played a million amazing roles, he's released some really strange music and he has humbly accrepted that he's a kind of demigod in the nerd enthusiast world for decades after he played Captain Kirk in Star Trek for a number of years in the 1960s.

So high is the demand for Shatner, that Melbourne's Comic-Con has decided that they simply had to get him back following his appearances at the Perth and Adelaide events earlier this year and Shatner has obliged and will make the journey back.

We're not sure how much Denny Crane you'll get:

And we're pretty certain he won't do Common People:

Check out the unnervingly handsome 82-year-old at Melbourne's Comic-Con alongside other stars like Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride, Saw, Robin Hood: Men in Tights), Shannen Doherty (Beverly Hills 90210, Charmed), Tia Carrere (Wayne's World, Relic Hunter) and The Rocky Horror Picture Show's Patricia Quinn and Nell Campbell.

It takes place at the Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne on Saturday 6 July and Sunday 7.
