KHAN could return in JJ films..

In that deleted scene in STXI, the Klingon helmets had faint ridges.

They could be wearing the masks with ridges because they have none, and want to have some semblance of honor.

Mickey Rourke for Khan. Prove me wrong.  "I want my burd!"

[Lurok91]

I've got a theory about Khan/Montalban casting probs, and would love to see if anyone agrees.  The essence of Khan is intelligence, erudition, masculinity, charm and arrogance (his fatal flaw).  Like many movie stars of his generation (Lancaster, Peck, Mitchum).  Montalban had those qualities (or at least knew how to play them), but few do today .    How many present day actors do, or can convey convincingly? (all those Pattinson 'pretty boys' *aargh*).   Clooney comes close overall, but no.  Rourke & Cage - admire, but just a bit too 'damaged' and leftfield.    I could almost imagine producers looking for a Brit or foreign actor:  like Rickman as Hans Gruber (c'mon, wasn't he a revelation and a great villain?).     Or here's a really wildcard and JJ connection:   Cruise...(bit short, but has a lot of the other qualities...lol).

Or... how about Patrick Stewart?  Wouldn't that be wild....

The thing is...and I think many people forget this...if they do bring in Khan...it wouldn't be Wrath of Khan.  It would have to be Space Seed.

They shouldn't do Kahn altogether - doing another Kahn would only be rehashing old stuff that's been done before.

and undoubtedly better.

considering that there's currently a wave of 80's nostalga going on, it's a possibility.  i've been hearing complaints from a cousin in this vein.  remember, they're thinking of the current generation of teenagesr, who've never heard of this stuff, and the 20 somethings that might have only vague memories.  to them, it's all new, so...

This is a new timeline, so they should be coming up with new villians and things we've not even imagined. It's a joke they are going where we've already gone before but they can at least make something of it instead of just rehashing some of the best Trek moments ever.

What he said. For all we know, the Enterprise will never encounter Khan at all and the series and film events we all know and love will never happen.

*cough*A-TEAM*cough*

not just the A team.  the Transformers revival, the GIJoe reboot (that flopped), the sudden revival of my little pony in the original style, etc.  the only thing that's been missing so far is a movie reboot of Knight rider (there was a series reboot).  even the TMNT have crawled back out.  pretty soon, Power Rangers will get a reboot.

the only thing that'll make people cringe is if suddenly every single one of the 80's hair bands suddenly reappears.  by then I'll be feeling REALLY old!

[Morgan]

Pretty soon, Power Rangers will get a reboot.

Now THAT will be a sad day...

[mckinneyc]

Power Rangers sort of has. They are rerunning the first Power Rangers but with some updated effects and cut scenes

You make it sound like its 100% official that they are actually going that way when obviously they aren't even quite sure what they want to do yet. And I doubt will be on the list, well for serious consideration anyways. No, they wont do Khan I just know that they wont.

@FarShot

Thats exactly the reason im going with.(its the most logical I think)

[FarShot]

And if not all the Klingons had been affected, it makes sense for the human-ified ones to be given prison duties and such as opposed to warships.

[baz1701]

I think re-making the wrath of Khan for ST12 would be a grave mistake, there would need to be a space seed to set up Khans vengence towards Kirk or it makes no sense.

But if they did it may look a little like this.

I'll tell you what needs to happen. JJ Abrams needs to be locked in a room with every ST: series and movie and not allowed to come out until he's seen ALL of them and then let him make the next Trek movie. I mean how can you know where you're going when you don't know where you've been? (that sounds like a song or something lol)

He's watched some of it.  He even has one of the old The Motion Picture jackets.  Plus, he didn't write the movie.  Real Star Trek fans wrote the movie.  And he doesn't need to see every series and movie.  Only TOS.  And I don't think that's a good idea at all.  I've said this a hundred times.  We don't need anything that rehashes old stories.  We need something new.  That's the whole point, after all.

I know the post is over 30 days old but i came across this clip and they discuss their opinion of a Khan JJ film near the end, and felt this view was very interesting..
