“It was suggested to not do it at one point”: William Shatner Ended up Doing the One Thing He Was Advised Not to in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
William Shatner’s one decision in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was crucial in making it one of the best films in the franchise. After the successful Star Trek: The Original Series, the cast returned for the films starting with Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Fans and studio executives were not happy with the first film despite the film becoming a financial success.

Shatner suggested that the second film in the series makes Captain James T. Kirk more vulnerable. The suggestion was initially met with skepticism but Kirk’s mid-life crisis turned out to work really well for the movie. The film kickstarted a three-part storyline that ended in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
