    Del Toro out! But is Khan the Villain in Star Trek?

    Well, Vulture http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment...quel-khan.html is still adamant that Khan is indeed the Villain in the new movie. Latino Review is also convinced the Khan is the baddie http://www.latinoreview.com/news/exc...r-trek-2-15528 .

    So, whether we agree or not Khan should be in the next movie...he could very well be the Villain. While I think Del Toro is a GREAT actor, he doesn't look like Khan to me. Another actor who's name keeps getting thrown around for the part is Nester Carbinell, who I think LOOKS more like Khan and would be my pick for the role.:thumbup:

    If it is indeed Khan, it's kind of odd that they're still lining up Latino actors to play a Sihk.

      I think Del Toro would have been a great Khan. Either way, I am just anxious to get it rolling!

        I kind of hope it's not Khan

        I never thought Khan was much of a threat and was a mediocre badguy

          Del Toro looks more like an old school Klingon to me.

            Agreed! And as far as "re-casting" and using Khan...I'm all for it! Khan was one of the greatest Villains of all time. Some people think Khan shouldn't be recast because Ricardo Montalbán owned the role...but they also successfully re-cast the entire TOS crew and it doesn't get any harder than that!

              I love how Abrams flat out says "No" and all these sites are basically saying "LIAR!"

                I think it's too soon for Khan. Maybe by film 3. Khan is dependably bankable but it doesn't mean you're going to get a ST II type adventure.

                  They should not get ANY guest badguys and just make a Doomsday Machine movie

                    ^EVIL SPACE CORNUCOPIA!!!

                    But seriously, I love the Doomsday Machine. I like Nestor Carbinell, but he always looks like he went way too heavy on the eyeshadow!!!

                    I don't care who the villain is, just make the new movie already!!!

                      Nestor is a very fine character actor he was very good as the Mayor of Gotham in The Dark Knight 2008 .probably will reprise his role for The Dark Knight Rises 2012? but theirs a 6 to 8 year gap between the 2 films when they take place

                      Benicio is overratted as an actor I never have thought he is that good just lucky right place right time! JJ Abrams is making good choice not going with him

                        I hope the bad guy is a mutated half Human-half Tribble, caused by transporter malfunction, and played by William Shatner. His wig makes him the perfect candidate...

                            And I do hope they tone down the Spock/Uhura romance, 'cause that really sucked bigtime.

                              Most latinos are played by the Dutch in movies.
