The Star Trek and Supernatural fandom collided recently thanks to some playful ribbing between William Shatner and Misha Collins. While neither is currently working within their famous franchises, they're hard at work on the convention circuit and taking potshots at one another as part of a playful feud. As new shows hit the 2026 TV schedule, fans of two of the best sci-fi franchises are quibbling on the internet over photography fees for stars at Comic-Con Scotland. There, Supernatural's Jensen Ackles will be charging the equivalent of $245 dollars plus a booking fee for fans who want to take a picture with him. Conversely, William Shatner is a steal at only $129, and when a fan pointed this out online, the 95-year-old actor had this to say: He has kids, a wife and a Misha to feed, clothe and shelter. That last guy I understand is very high maintenance. 😉 You should feel sorry for J.🤣 https://t.co/aXr1bnmDukAugust 18, 2026Misha Collins, who is also appearing (and similar to Shatner charging between $115 and $149), caught a stray from the Trek star there. Supernatural fans needn't worry about him, however, as he was prepared to throw a playful jab right back at the icon: Don’t make me put you in a headlock again, Bill. I’ll do it. https://t.co/EASxxZeyRb pic.twitter.com/xLghla4GJ1August 19, 2026For those who aren't familiar, or are reading between the lines thanks to that picture above, Collins and Shatner have been celebrity friends for quite a while. IGN posted about their friendship way back in 2014, back when Shatner was live-tweeting CW shows to support Collins. He's also been a participant in Collins' famous charity scavenger hunt, GISH, which is to say there's no bad blood between these two. This is a celebrity faux feud at its finest, similar to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. As for Jensen Ackles' photography price, it's fair to say his star power is still pretty high in Hollywood. Beyond Supernatural, he joined the cast of The Boys, and even has a recurring role on the CBS series Tracker. Suffice it to say, there are a lot of fandoms he's a part of now, and that high price may be to dissuade some, so he doesn't spend an entire day snapping photos. Meanwhile, Shatner's past episodes of Star Trek are available to stream with a Paramount+ subscription, and he's done a few other shows with fans who may pay to take a picture with him. I should also note that while the price is lower, it's also reflective of the fact that Shatner's been traveling to conventions for around fifty years and makes tons of appearances around the world. People are still lining up and taking photos, so maybe the lower price point doesn't matter to him as much as landing the gigs in the first place. Hollywood is obviously a place where actors can network, but we need to appreciate how conventions have brought actors together to where interactions like this can happen. Not to mention fans in Scotland will soon get to see both William Shatner and Misha Collins under the same roof. Who knows, maybe they'll troll each other again at the convention? Doubtless, we'll have more to talk about here soon enough. Watch William Shatner in Star Trek over on Paramount+, while Misha Collins and Jensen Ackles' Supernatural is available on Peacock. I can confirm they're great watches, as someone who indulges in both, but I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone reading this that.
