The speclution and back and forth about whether Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch's villain role in the as yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel. is none other than Khan Noonien Singh got a bit more twisted with actor Simon Pegg who plays Scotty, saying the claims are bunk in an interview with The Telegraph.
Kahn is the genetically enhanced human of the 1967 episode of "Star Trek" called Space Seed as well as the big screen sequel Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan played by Ricardo Montalban and in the process solidified himself as the best Trek villain period...,
"It’s not Khan. That’s a myth. Everyone’s saying it is, but it’s not. I think people just want to have a scoop. It annoys me – it’s beyond the point to just ferret around for spoilers all the time to try to be the first to break them. It just spoils the film. It masquerades as interest in the movie but really it’s just nosiness and impatience. You just want to say, ‘Oh f--- off! Wait for the film.'"
Rumors have swirled of Khan's involvement since the film was announced. When Cumberbatch got the role as the film's villain, I noted that he is physically all wrong for Kahn
I know trekkers who are convinced that Cumby is playing Kahn's son in the film...No fooling...I still hope that Pegg is telling the truth
AICN posted a story a few weeks ago saying that Cumberbatch was indeed playing Khan after all....OK if not Kahn then who? Pegg only says he's "not just another disgruntled alien. It’s a really interesting… sort of… thing… Obviously I can’t talk about it."
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin John Cho and Bruce Greenwood have all returned to the Final Frontier in their respective roles as Kirk Spock Uhura Dr. McCoy Chekov Sulu and Admiral Pike.
The Supporting Cast Includes Nazneen Contractor who will play the wife of Noel Clarke’s family man character Alice Eve has a major role as does former "Robocop" star Peter Weller and actor/stuntman Joseph Gatt
Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof wrote the script for director J.J. Abrams.
The sequel will be produced by Abrams, Kurtzman, Orci, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, and David Ellison.
Now in post production the film will be released May 17, 2013 in 3D.
