To those who don’t know who that is, that is actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the main villain for the new Star Trek movie, “Star Trek: Into Darkness”, directed by JJ Abrams. A lot of speculation on which villain it is. Everyone’s saying it’s either Khan or Gary Mitchell.

I’m sure everyone knows who Khan is, but who is Gary Mitchell? Gary Mitchell is a villain from the original Star Trek series, and he would be seen in the episode, “Memory Alpha”. Gary Mitchell worked for Starfleet on the Enterprise with, Kirk and the gang. More info, on Gary Mitchell, here. I’m sure, some of you remember that episode now.

Or it could be a totally different villain. We’ll have to wait and see the film. Another film I look forward to next year. A lot of you know, I’m a pretty big Trekkie!

Report: “Star Trek” writer hints Khan maybe the next villain for sequel…

At MTV News there maybe a possibility that Khan could return as the main villain for the sequel of the new “Star Trek” but played by a different actor since Ricardo Montalban passed away in real life.

See it here:

Bringing Khan back played by a younger actor is a great idea, in my opinion. If Heath Ledger was still alive, he would be my first choice to play the new and young Khan. Since Heath is no longer with us obviously, my picks to play a young Khan is either Johnny Depp, Daniel Craig, Cillian Murphy, and Robert Downey Jr. maybe?
