J.J. Abrams is having us play guessing games when it comes to Benedict Cumberbatch's character of the villain in Star Trek Into Darkness.
First it was said that Khan was the villain of the movie and then it was "leaked" that Cumberbatch will be playing the all-powerful Gary Mitchell.
Now with the new synopsis (below) revealed by Paramount, it could be any of the above two -- or possibly a third?
How about the mad Star Fleet Captain, Garth of Izar?
In the third season episode of the original Star Trek television series, "Whom Gods Destroy," the Enterprise was given a mission to take medicines to a planet where the Federation housed their criminally insane. One of the inmates happens to be a hero of Kirk's -- and one that has the power of shapeshifting!
Interestingly enough, Chris Pine recently mentioned a transformation that Benedict Cumberbatch undergoes, and didn't Zachary Quinto say something about not wanting to play these types of characters again?
Currently, Quinto is playing a serial killer in American Horror Story: Asylum. "Asylum" being the key word. It could be that Cumberbatch's characters shapeshifts into Spock (in the original it was Kirk), which would fit the bill about what Quinto said in regards to Spock - that he stated was taken out of context - about not wanting to play these types of characters again, as he played one in Heroes as well.
