Trek 2 villain is not Khan

[palitoy]

Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast as the new villain, I think that puts Khan rumours into suspended animation.

Just as glad. They need to leave Khan alone. They've done everything with him that can be done (IMHO). Let's get someone fresh and new for Kirk and Co. to tangle with. I've heard rumours that this guy MIGHT be playing Harry Mudd, which would be cool as a supporting character, but I could never see Harcourt Fenton Mudd as a big-screen villian at all...

[palitoy]

He's a pretty amazing actor but Mudd would be something of a waste for him. Plus he's like "David Bowie skinny"....

Wonderful news! Wrath of Khan will always go down as one of the classic Trek films of all time. A reboot needs to look elsewhere for inspiration.

[Megotu]

Heh...mebbe he's gonna be Sybok heh heh heh

[The Bat]

I'm hoping he's playing Gary Mitchel!

[Godzilla]

That is great news. I hope they go for something original.

[samurainoir]

He'd look cool in Romulan gear.

[ANTONY-S]

I'm convinced he'll be the next doctor who...Great actor.

Hope they dont use Khan in this one to. I dont want them to boldly go where they have already been; this reboot needs to stick with new adventures we have yet to see.

I'm kinda hoping for a renegade starship captain, Kirk's equal in every way. Bold, brash and daring, just a little bit evil. I'm talking a captain who would lock on and shoot a photon torpedo at a space walker. Someone who makes his enemies eat a dilithium burrito before lauching them into space from an airlock. I'm looking for a Stone Cold Steve Austin mixed with the Rock mixed with Kirk with a little dash of Palpatine.

I'm glad it's not going to be about Khan

Hmmmmm----a dilithium burrito sounds almost as dangerous as a photon suppository.....

Perhaps they should looks in some underarms for the proper inspir---oh no, wait, that's perspiration. Sorry, my bad. please continue and ignore the bald man in the corner....

Now that would be sweet, seeing a BIG screen telling of the Gary Mitchell "event". To this day, I'd still swear that eppy of TOS is what inspired Claremont and Byrne during the whole "Dark Phoenix" saga! Perhaps they could even find a way to bring in the Q Continuum, since there are those who posit that that is the true energy that Mitchell tapped into....
