Benicio Del Toro may have waved buh by to boldly going on to villainous immortality in J.J Abrams' Star Trek sequel but one Sci-fi veteran is still very much on board to cause problems for the crew of the Enterprise. Yes new details on Peter Weller's role reveal that he will indeed be playing a villain.
First here is an excerpt from
Variety's report that slipped by us from before the role was cast..
“..another villain, someone who’s older and in more of a supporting character to del Toro.”
Obviously that was before Del Toro bailed. And now thanks to an update from
EW after speaking with Weller's agent we know the following..
Of course J.J. Abrams is very tight-lipped about his projects but I do know that it’s a substantial role and that Peter is playing a C.E.O.
So an eeeeevil CEO then. Never! Sound interesting anyway, and suggest there will be some kind of corporate element to the plot. But what could it be? And assuming Khan is the main villain (which is looking very likely) how does he fit into the whole thing? We don't know, but hopefully we will soon. For now let's have your theories.
