NOVI (WWJ) -- Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, will be coming to Metro Detroit in May.
The 90-year-old actor, director and screenwriter, Shatner -- best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk on "Star Trek" -- is the first guest announced to appear at Michigan's largest comic con.
Shatner is expected to meet with fans, sign autographs and take pictures with them during the 2022 Motor City Comic Con at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi -- but it'll cost a pretty penny.
The price to get Shatner's John Hancock is $120, while a photo with the star will cost $130.
More celebrity guests will be announced in the coming months leading to the event.
“Every year we have been making Motor City Comic Con bigger and better, and we are thrilled to soon reveal the plans for 2022," said Michael Goldman, Founder and Convention Promotor of Motor City Comic Con.
