[KK.]

I must admit, that is an odd look for our dear Sherlock Holmes...

[Chaac]

He had a small role as Joseph Hooker but in the real world nobody knows who that guy is.

[Joey]

Apart from Sherlock, what other legendary roles has he done?

He is the be brave guy in Warhorse.

[John Crichton]

Cumberbatch has a large role in Tinker, Tailor too. But right now he's easily most well known for Sherlock.

[Stefancos]

The point is that hes mainly a character actor. Not a new Hollywood star.

[KK.]

Indeed, how did Cumberbatch pick his career up so fast? 2011 was a fantastic year for him.

[Stefancos]

People took notice of him because of his fabulous acting in Sherlock.

[fommes]

Anyone else know him from Broken News?

[Stefancos]

So has it been confirmed that Cumberbatch is playing Khan?

[Miles Prower]

I thought he was playing Captain Klaa?

[Faleel]

No no, he is playing captain kagi.

[Wojo]

And I've read that he's playing Sybok.

[crocodile]

It would be cool if they decided to invent new characters.

[Wojo]

Nero was a new character. Well, he tried to be.

I think he was just Khan and Shinzon combined in a transporter accident, a la Tuvix, but who am I kidding.

Ha! That makes a lot of sense.

[OneBuckFilms]

Maybe he's playing Captain Crunch?

[davros72]

I thought he was playing a Vulcan/human hybrid, Sher'lok.

Seriously, the one suggestion I think has any sort of merit to it, based on a few other related tidbits I've seen, is...

Spoiler

Gary Mitchell.

But that could be completely wrong, too.

I would rather go with that character than Khan.

[Wojo]

Maybe he's playing Captain Crunch?

That's possible. After all, Will Riker told a malevolent alien species that he served aboard the Good Ship Lollipop. Star Trek is terribly inconsistent regarding which aspects of 20th century life are still known in the far future.

Spoiler

Benedict's photo in the leaked photo doesn't look at all like what a "Khan"-like genetically engineered superman should. He also doesn't seem to overpower Spock in the leaked footage, but they fight as equals.

However, Spock easily subdued Kirk in the first Abrams movie when Kirk pushed all the right buttons to torque him off. That would suggest a human is no match for a Vulcan-human hybrid, but a genetic superman would be his equal, not superior to Vulcan.

If BC is playing KNS, I don't want to see it.

[Chaac]

Isn't he wearing starfleet clothes?

Maybe he can fight Spock to establish him as a "badass normal".

[Wojo]

Isn't he wearing starfleet clothes?

Yeah, that means something...

[Joey]

Nero, now there is one poorly written, poorly conceived, poorly acted villain. He so stoopid.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I really just hope that Star Trek (X) II:

1. Has NO time travel elements whatsoever
2. Does NOT end up just being a "Enterprise saves the world from a humanoid villian who is destroying worlds out of personal revenge"

That's all I ask

[John Crichton]

The current crew running Trek is too smart to try to redo Khan, I'm fully confident they won't go there. The Gary Mitchell idea is an interesting one, that's a more obscure (less know by the general public) one and I could see it being fleshed out nicely.

Speaking of Khan, I've long said that a really cool opening for the next Trek movie (when I was also hoping that it would be a Klingon movie) would be a Klingon ship in space, maybe a battle with a Federation ship, and a huge piece of space debris gets in the way and gets blasted to pieces. One of the pieces flys by the camera and we see just barely on the charred remains of this small piece of hull: SS Botany Bay.

[Joey]

OMG I nearly fell out of the chair.

You're talking about a team that couldn't form a logic thought if Life itself depended on it.

My expectations for Star Trek 2 is the cast will continue to be engaging and thoroughly entertaining, except Simon I'm all wrong for the part Peg. The music will be droll and uninspired like the last one, come on MG knock it out of the park this time, you don't have to acheive Goldsmith, Horner or even L. R status, but better than 6, 7 and11 should be doable for a guy like you. The story will be borderline horrible but better than last time. The engine room will be better because no one like the milk processing plant, I beams and concrete in space do not work idiots.

[davros72]

I really hope they don't do Khan. It's too obvious, too expected. If they do, they technically could only redo the TV episode "Space Seed", or a variation of it, right? "Wrath of Khan" only works if it's set years after the initial encounter with Khan. If they just jump right to "Wrath of Khan", how can there be a proper backstory? Kirk exiled Khan when Kirk was, what, 4 years old? Please. And I sure hope they don't try to force "Space Seed" and "Wrath of Khan" into one movie, that would suck too.

So I'm hoping for either an original bad guy or Gary Mitchell who I'd be OK with.

[Chaac]

I wouldn't be okay with Gary Mitchell. I want an all original story. Otherwise I'd feel they're wasting away a franchise with lots of potential.

[Henry Buck]

"Where No Man Has Gone Before" is being redone in a comic to tie into the movie. So I doubt Gary Mitchell will also feature in the film. Which is good, of course... bring on an original villain.

[Jason LeBlanc]

I think that makes it MORE likely he'll be in the film...

[Henry Buck]

He dies at the end of the comic just like he did in the original pilot. So...

[Stefancos]

Spock died in TWOK, Tasha Yar died in season one of TNG...what are you talking about!

[Joey]

lesbians never die, they just get new partners.

[Stefancos]

Yar was not a lesbo, she was kissing that dude from the Enterprise C that was gonna be destroyed.

[Joey]

she was confused, any woman who wears her hair like that is not only a great softball player, drives a ford pickup, but also is great at decorating in southwest decor. The real proof was the dreamcatcher in her quarters...and the Melissa Ethredge poster.

[Jason LeBlanc]

The new films take place before the timeframe of TOS....

[Stefancos]

Alternate timeline, Jason.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Duh.

[Joey]

bad alternate timeline, ignorant stoopid alternate timeline.

romulans r dumb.

[Stefancos]

Neil S. Bulk was never in the original timeline, Joey!

[Joey]

but Indysolo was.
