Tom Hardy portrayed Shinzon, the evil clone of Captain Picard in Star Trek: Nemesis, and also played a young Picard in a controversial photo. Star Trek: Nemesis marked the end of the Next Generation movie franchise with infamous moments like Data's death and the questionable young Picard photo. The bald young Picard in the photo was a retcon in Nemesis, causing controversy among fans and contradicting established Picard backstory.

Star Trek: Nemesis introduced Tom Hardy as Shinzon, the evil clone of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), but Hardy also played a young Picard in a photo that instantly became problematic. Directed by Stuart Baird from a story by John Logan, Rick Berman, and Brent Spiner, Star Trek: Nemesis became the death knell for the Star Trek: The Next Generation movie franchise. Aspects of Star Trek: Nemesis have proven infamous, like the death of Commander Data (Brent Spiner), and a...

Captain Archer defended Nausicaans in "Fortunate Son" to prevent a conflict and save the Fortunate Son and its crew. Jean-Luc Picard was stabbed by Nausicaans and needed an artificial heart in "Samaritan Snare" and "Tapestry." Picard's artificial heart no longer matters as he now has a synthetic and positronic body in Star Trek: Picard seasons 2 and 3.

Star Trek: Enterprise's Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) actually defended the same aliens who stabbed Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) though the heart in Star Trek: The Next Generation. About 200 years separate the pioneering 22nd-century voyages of Captain Archer's Nx-01 Enterprise and the 24th-century explorations of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's USS Enterprise-d. But one thing both Captains of the Enterprise have in common is encountering the Nausicaans, only with very different results.

In Star Trek: Enterprise season 1, episode 10, "Fortunate Son," Captain Archer's Nx-01 is diverted to help the Ecs Fortunate Son, a cargo ship that was raided by Nausicaan pirates.

Patrick Stewart believes that a prequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation featuring a younger Jean-Luc Picard is highly likely to happen in the future. He mentions that he already has a son who could potentially take on the role of a younger Jean-Luc Picard, praising him as a talented actor. Stewart's new memoir, "Making It So," covers his life story and successful career, including his roles in the X-Men and Star Trek franchises.

If a prequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation requiring a younger actor to play Jean-Luc Picard is ever made, Sir Patrick Stewart offers his suggestion for the iconic role. Coming off the widely acclaimed Star Trek: Picard season 3, which is the final season of the Paramount+ series, Stewart is now promoting his long-awaited memoir, "Making It So." Sir Patrick's autobiography covers his life story and his illustrious career on stage and screen, including his...

Patrick Stewart will forever be known for playing Jean-Luc Picard, but four other actors have also taken on the iconic role in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Nemesis, and Star Trek: Picard. In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Jean-Luc reunites with the crew of The Next Generation for one last adventure to save the galaxy together. Tng has been the defining Star Trek show since its launch in 1987, and Picard himself is beloved by generations of fans.

It's hard to imagine anyone else but Sir Patrick Stewart playing Jean-Luc Picard, but he wasn't Star Trek: The Next Generation creator and executive producer Gene Roddenberry's first choice for the role. Roddenberry initially balked at Stewart, a bald Shakespearean actor, as the successor to Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). Others considered to play Captain Picard were Mitch Ryan, Roy Thinnes, and Yapphet Kotto. Thankfully, Stewart won the role, and...
