It's Kirk vs Picard...over a woman!
(This does not count actors meeting their later counterparts like Buster Crabbe on Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Christopher Reeve and Helen Slater on Smallville, or Adam West on Batman the Animated Series!)
In this case, Chris Pine (Captain James T Kirk in Star Trek [2009]) and Tom Hardy (Captain Jean-Luc Picard clone Shinzon in Star Trek: Nemesis [2002]), making it an alternate-universe Kirk vs a clone Picard in the new film This Means War.
And, while the flick is being promoted as a romantic comedy, it's also an action-adventure/spy pic!
Here are some other "sorta" movie/tv team-ups...
The Lone Ranger meets Commando Cody!
