Before George ’s death , Winona and George give the futureCaptain of the USS Enterprisehis famous name : James Tiberius Kirk .
In theKelvin TimelineStar Trekmovies , Kirk ’s birth occurs at the same time as the polar upshot that split up the Prime Timeline and Kelvin Timelines , so seeing James Kirk ’s parent on - screen matters more than inStar Trek : The Original Series . Pine ’s Kirk being born at the same time as his Padre ’s death heaps much more guilt on the immature Jim Kirk , prepare Kelvin Kirk less sure of himself and more misanthropic . Kirk ’s mother , Winona , is cite inStar Trek Into DarknessandStar Trek Beyond , but does n’t come along on - cover in any subsequentStar Trekmovie or show .

Winona Kirk Appears In Star Trek (2009)’s Opening Scenes
Jennifer Morrison is the only actor to wreak Winona Kirk , the mother of Captain James T. Kirk , in anyStar Trektimeline . In the Kelvin Timeline , Winona Kirk finally remarry and raised her sons in Iowa . During James Kirk ’s freewheeling , Corvette - stealing prefatory prospect inStar Trek , Winona is away from home . It ’s implied that James and Sam are being manage for by an absent stepfather while Winona is gone .

Star Trek Still Hasn’t Introduced Kirk’s Parents In The Prime Timeline
George And Winona Kirk Must Be Like Their Kelvin Timeline Counterparts
Star Trekstill has n’t acquaint James Kirk ’s parents in the Prime Timeline . William Shatner ’s Kirk only reference his Father-God occasionally , and never talked about his mother inStar Trek : The Original Series . Instead , most of what we make out about Kirk ’s parents in the Prime Timeline come fromStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , in scenes wherePaul Wesley ’s James Kirktalks about his female parent and don . Strange New Worlds ' Kirk is the favored child of George Kirk , compare to Dan Jeannotte ’s Sam Kirk . Very short is said about Winona — only that she followed George ’s Starfleet postings with their two Logos .
Since his introduction in Star Trek : The Original Series , Star Trek has introduced several member of Captain James T. Kirk ’s family .
Despite George and Winona Kirk ’s absence from the Prime Timeline , we can infer what Prime George and Winona Kirk might be like based on their depictions inStar Trek(2009 ) . The Kelvin Timeline split only occurred after Nero ( Eric Bana ) travel back to 2230 anddestroyed the USS Kelvin , so the versions of George Senior and Winona play by Chris Hemsworth and Jennifer Morrison also existed in the Prime Timeline . If Kirk ’s parents do show up inStar Trek : Strange New Worlds , another actress will surely represent Winona Kirk , andStar Trek ’s Jennifer Morrison wo n’t be the only one .
