STTTTTOOOOOPPPPPPPPPP boring me Star Trek.
In these movies, Khan will be a Klingon!
A genetically engineered super Klingon. Somewhere in LA, a studio executive just popped a chubby, and isn't sure why.
Maybe in this timeline, the Klingons were created by humans during the Eugenic Wars!

My friend just texted and she said that Peter Weller is going to be in this? What?
He signed on a couple days ago.

I can't wait for this movie. Star Trek 2009 was such a fun film. Here's hoping the sequel can recapture the magic and charm of the first.
Agreed. I'll be less excited if its khan, though. Like, 10-15% less excited.

I REALLY hope they don't do Khan.
Be interesting to see who Weller plays. Kind of surprised he was cast given he played a major role in the Enterprise (real) finale.

How many roles did James Cromwell have throughout Trek canon before and after playing Zefram Cochrane, arguably one of the largest roles in the lore of the franchise?
Geez, I really really hope they stay away from Kahn - as in forever. Every villain in the film franchise has been compared to or tried to be a copy of Kahn and it's just annoying. I'd really prefer to have something like a rebooted Q (yeah, I know, it's TOS not TNG, but whatever) that's just a badass, less campy, and completely alien.

That's the problem, you can't do Q in a truly menacing way. "Encounter at Farpoint" and "All Good Things..." were as close as he got to menacing. It's tough to do a villain that can not be beaten. Q was always there to screw around a bit, have a laugh, then go on his way.

Yeah, but those were always pretty bit roles, and in 2 of his 3 pre-Cochrane roles he was under tons of makeup.

The fact that they were going for Benicio Del Toro is pretty telling that it's probably Khan.

Why is Spock fighting Ed Grimley?

He doesn't look like Khan. I don't think that is the villain.
He is the villain, that guy was casted as the villain, and he doesn't look Klingon so what else could he be?

Sorry, I know that Cumberbatch is the villain. I meant I don't think Khan is the villain character.
jetpacks was yes

Looks Starfleet, so why would he be Khan? I just hope it's somebody new.
Gary Mitchell was human, tho.

I loved 2009 Trek but First Contact is still my favorite Trek Movie.
Eww.
The Undiscovered Country or nothing at all.
That would be a terrible villain.
Maybe JJ is making a new villain? That might be a good thing.
I still want to see Klingons though.
So they're gonna one up Nero with a dude named Gary Mitchell. Interesting.
Looks like your average human villain from a Star Trek episode, it's the acting that counts.
And besides, the lens flare hasn't been added yet.

Cyrano Jones. There will be tribbles, yo.
What do you mean? Sure, they don't control the universe like Q, or split someone in half like a Klingon, but they can deliver real threats.
And if anything, it makes it more convincing because he's a real human. The more down to Earth a concept is, the easier it is for an audience to relate to it and understand it's severity.
It's the same reason a show like Everybody Loves Rayman can so hilarious despite anything really big happening in the show. Because the show doesn't rely on big sensational things, the smallest family argument can be a riot, because it's more real.

I petition it should be a fully nude Star Trek and J.J. can edit lens flare to make it PG
jetpacks was yes

I hope there's some interesting scifi puzzle/mystery thingy going on in the movie. Star Trek was never as interesting when it was just about beating the villain, for me.
This is why we need a new show.
