New Star Trek Into Darkness images, and Benedict Cumberbatch's bad guy finally revealed?
Thursday, 7 February 2013
Yes, according to the description for this week's EW cover, Cumberbatch will be portraying none other than the 20th century warlord Khan Noonien Singh, who was of course portrayed by Ricardo Montalban in the Star Trek: TOS episode 'Space Seed' and 1982's Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Naturally, there is the possibility that EW has made a mistake (and either way, I imagine that's the line that Paramount Pictures will take), but of all the rumours about the identity of the film's antagonist, Khan's name has popped up most frequently, and considering the hints in the theatrical trailer, it shouldn't come as much surprise if this does turn out to be the case. So, does this mean the mystery has finally been solved, and if so, what the hell is Khan doing in a Starfleet uniform?
