Is he Khan or isn’t he? (hint: he’s not)
I question how necessary the secrecy is surrounding JJ Abrams’ films. Cloverfield (which he produced) was incredibly straightforward for a film where its lead-up was so shrouded in secrecy. But that’s nothing compared to Super 8, a film where its only secret was that there were no secrets at all. Point being: walking like ducks and what not. Not so with Kahn’s inclusion in Star Trek 2, it would seem – as Simon Pegg (Scotty) now sets the record straight in this Cinemablend piece:
“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.”
And so it’s back to Benedict Cumberbatch’s character being a mystery. Let’s let JJ have his fun and leave it at that for now. When I look at the above pic of Cumberbatch I don’t really see Khan in there, anyways. I suspect the character is somebody Trek fans will be familiar with; and I also suspect that, whenever he’s a revealed, a collective “Who?” will be uttered by everyone else.
Honestly, all I’m hoping for is a good film. I would be much more interested in seeing Abrams introduce a new villain as opposed to treading old territory. But, for whatever reason, it’s very important to JJ that we not know just yet.

He will be called Caan.
K’ahn?
K4WN.
HE’S A KLINGKHAN!
Well, whoever it is, they better make sure the villain’s name sounds good when you pally an echo effect…….
Could still be Joakim, Khan’s second, or Gary Mitchell.
Khaka Shaun.
I figure he could be one of the genetically enhanced soldiers that was in stasis on Khan’s ship. Only instead of waking up Kahn (with Quinto Spock saying “That would be most unwise” or something) they wake up one of Kahn’s subordinates.
