At Comic-Con, IGN had a chance to speak with William Shatner and asked whether he thought J.J. Abrams should explore the character of Khan in his second Star Trek movie. Check out what he said below.


"I think that would be... In my opinion, if it were me, I wouldn't go back to that well again," Shatner said. "I'm not saying that it can be done in a good way, but there's just so much imagination out there. There're so many new things that could be explored. Why tap into what's been done twice already?"

I would rather they keep making original villains. The original series didn't have that many great villains.

Hell yes you put Khan in it. To not would be like saying you don't need the Joker in a new series of Batman films, or Magneto the next time the Xmen are rebooted.....

PLEASE READ!!! MY BADASS IDEA FOR THE NEXT MOVIE, GREATER THAN ALL, CERTAINLY BETTER THAN KHAN OR THE FRIGGIN' TRIBBLES!!!!!!
I'm posting this on multiple Trek stories for good reason. My idea for the next movie.
Start on the Klingon home world, they are drinking and training, at the same time of course, when a group of Borg cubes comes down and assimilates the whole planet, but something about the Klingon physiology makes the assimilation process not quite work right and you end up with psycho, ultra badass Klingon/Borg hybrids who then destroy all of the other Borg and take over the ships and go out to destroy all other planets because no other race is good enough to be assimilated. They get into Federation territory around the same time more Borg get there. Have the Enterprise encounter the Borg queen who gets Kirk on board and instead of assimilating him, falls in love with him(of course, Kirk's pimp hand with alien chicks is THAT strong) and they team up to defeat the K/B and she promises to leave the quadrant alone.....for now. How would that be?
