Nestor Carbonell To Play Khan In Star Trek Sequel?

KAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like many others I have to admit to experiencing a rush when watching Abrams' fresh take on the Trek franchise. Plot-wise, there was enough for three movies, four spin-off novels and a TV pilot. But now what? More of the same? More cowboys and injuns in outer space? More nods to Star Wars? Of course, if you pause and think seriously about things, it becomes apparent there's no way in hell an outfit like the Federation would allow a bunch of 20-year-olds to single-handedly undertake diplomatic, interstellar chores. There needs to be a sage-like figure on board. And wouldn't it be amazing to see a Trek film where, for once, someone doesn't collect it on the jaw? Say what you will about the 1979 feature, but in its failure it did attempt to show that brains and compassion will always win out over brawn and bravado. All that changed with the militaristic re-introduction of Khan. And now, based on the current crop of rumours, we're back to that scenario again? Hey, J.J., there's a cool old dude out there by the name of Harlan Ellison. Not only did he write the best-ever episode of the original TV series, but he also had a grand concept for the first motion picture that was never used. Put down the knuckle-dusters and phasers for a moment and pay the grand old geezer a visit. He may be the sage your beloved Enterprise needs if it is to avoid the wrath of, well, you know...the critics. Anyways, I just hope that the sequel will be wonderful even without using any fast cash loans.

He really should have won an Emmy for his portrayal of batmanuel. he he. God I love The Tick. "SPOOOOOOOOOON!"


As for Khan, yes, that is some good casting right there.

I hadnt really seen much of Star Trek before the movie (which was awesome but I still dont really want to watch the TV series) but any news about a sequel is great - this guy also happens to be an excellent actor so I hope this is true! :)

1) Khan as the next Trek baddie would be interesting. You know what I would LOVE to see happen? Instead of Khan and Kirk developing into mortal enemies...they become life long friends through an arduous and peril filled trial of some sort with only each other to make it out alive. As they undertake the trial together they learn about and come to respect one another. Eventually they would forge a lasting peace for the the eugenics and natural born humans and establish this as a truly different Trek universe with twists and turns for years to come. THAT would be SICK Trek. Am I crazy?

2) All this time I thought Corinthian leather was cheap artificial leather produced in Newark. I had no idea it was imaginary. You learn something new every day! You taught me something cool, Skunks!

I'd like Khan to make an appearence but as only minor role, Klingons all the way!

Or maybe just a Mudd story! ;P

Is it just me but I would love STar Trek to go in other NEW directions. Don't get me wrong having Kahn on screen again is cool but we have been there and done that. Come up with new creatures and new adventures... AM I the only one that thinks like this??

Lets see the Gorns!!!!!!!!!

OMG....yes...Nestor need to be in every movie.

lol eye liner boy to play Kahn? cool deal

He's great on Lost.

Here here....Comicbookguy!!!!!

Hi MsKyle......I am still not dead??? LOL

WHAT AN AMAZING CHOICE!

lol

Anyone with me that they should show the Gorns??? How cool would that be.

lol @ Corinthian leather.

BTW, I really mean NNNOOOOO!!!!

Trying to recreate Wrath of Khan would be the biggest mistake in the long, sad history of moviemaking mistakes. They need to stick to something new and original.

nestor played ricardo's son on kim possible so it makes sense to me!

@ Keven: Whose a douche? Access? Nestor Carbonell? Kahn?
