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.

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?
