Star Trek 2... KHAAAAAAANNN!??

Recommended Posts

Benedict Cumberbatch, who stars as Conan Doyle’s supersleuth in the BBC’s highly original series Sherlock, has signed on to play the major villain in J.J. Abram’s second Star Trek film. Many observers feel that it is Cumberbatch (and the writers of the cleverly updated Sherlock TV series) who have produced the most interesting and inspired contemporary version of Holmes, not Robert Downey, Jr. and Guy Ritchie in their series of expensive and popular films.

Benicio Del Toro has previously turned the role of the chief baddie in the new Trek film (see “Del Toro in Star Trek 2”), a part that Edgar Ramirez reportedly auditioned for—and the fact that both of those actors have Hispanic backgrounds led many observers to speculate that the role in question was that of Khan, who was notably interpreted by the late Ricardo Montalban in The Wrath of Khan, long recognized as a bit of cinematic gold among the celluloid dross that is the Star Trek movie franchise. Cumberbatch may not have the Hispanic genes, but he is clearly able to project the intellectual hauteur of the supervillain Khan.

Deadline first posted the news that Cumberbatch was attached to the new Trek film, while Variety reported that he was taking the role of chief villain, and that another British TV favorite, Noel Clarke (Doctor Who) was also set to join the cast of the new Star Trek film, which will be Abrams’ second Trek film and the franchise’s 12th overall. Clarke and Cumberbatch join other franchise newcomers Peter Weller (see “Peter Weller in Star Trek Sequel”) and the gorgeous Alice Eve (see “Alice Eve in Star Trek 2”) in Abrams’ Star Trek 2 (as it is now known), which is currently slated to debut on May 17th, 2013.

I think it would be awesome to see Khan again... only if Kirk shouts his name tho. X'D

Interesting. Another previous rumor I heard was that the villain might be Q... and he was gonna deal with the time screw up that Nero caused. I'd honestly like to see Kirk interact with Q. I don't think Chris Pine can pull off a good bellowing KHAAAAAAN! X'D

      It was a fun movie, they didn't stay true to the games at all with most of the plot coming from the fourth game but overall it was good special effects and kept a good pace with plenty of action. Although it did feel toned down with gun fights considering the amount of shooting takes place in the games. I'm guessing they did that to keep the rating family friendly. Tom Holland still looked way too young for the role imo.

      Very interesting. Spider-man, Doctor Strange and the multiverse. This should be a fun movie.

      Season 3 started and its 5 episodes in so far. This has become one of my favorite Star Trek series. I would have never imagined myself saying that during the horrible season 1, but season 2 was amazing and season 3 is awesome so far. I highly recommend this show. I did not think the show could get better than season 2, considering captain Pike and Spock were top notch, but its maintaining that same quality easily. Talking about season 3 is a huge spoiler if you haven't seen season 2. Regardless of that I will say "The Burn", the event that completely changed the entirety of star trek, all species, all great powers in the galaxy, etc. is an extremely interesting plot. Well done for the writers because this has me hooked all over again. It makes the show completely unpredictable in terms of where that plot is going and I have no idea what they will reveal next. CBS is working on more Star Trek series and for the first time I can say hell yes. They're reviving one of my all time favorite scifi shows back into the glory days of having new series coming out and they're all high quality.

      I wasn't that interested in this movie because its based in the past, but now that I've been sucked into Battlefield 1, this movie looks amazing. I know DICE likes to put easter eggs in their games so I wonder if we'll see an amazon warrior reference somewhere in a future dlc. On a side note, I thought we had a Wonder Woman topic already for the teaser trailer, but I didn't see one.

      Awesome movie. I watched it a couple days ago. One of the best movies of 2020 for me. Very fun, energetic, great CGI and the monsters were all pretty damn cool and unique.
