Star Trek...2013...Yep, it's happening.

[Compound]

So, anyway...

Guess who's in the new movie? Benecio del Toro as the villain? Well, yeah. that's old news. Peter Weller has joined the cast. Yep. Star Trek now has Dr. Banzai in it. Woot.

[Russell]

That is pretty damn awesome. The only way this movie could possibly get better is if A) It has an epic story, and B) The Satellite of love has a cameo.

bunnies, kittens, and Snape riding a unicorn had a cameo

Benicio Del Toro Won't Make Star Trek Sequel

The sequel to the successful reboot of Star Trek has been a long-in-development priority for Paramount and director J.J. Abrams, and the Enterprise is currently scheduled to lift off again this January, when shooting on the untitled next installment will begin. Sadly, there's one high-profile star whom Abrams didn't manage to beam up: Benicio Del Toro, who entered into talks last month to play the sequel's new villain. Insiders tell Vulture that the deal actually went asunder last Wednesday after parties couldn't come to terms over monetary issues.

Abrams will now have to move quickly to fill the role, but which villain from Star Trek lore has he made the focal point of the new film? When Del Toro's name was first linked to the project, speculation ran rampant that he might play Khan, immortalized once before on the big screen by Ricardo Montalban in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. On Friday, the site Latino Review claimed to have confirmed that choice of villain, though Abrams promptly replied to Hitfix that the report was "not true." Still, the famously secretive director was probably trying to keep the cat in the interstellar bag for a little while longer, as Vulture hears from a highly placed source that Khan is indeed the film's baddie. Perhaps Abrams was taking his cues from Man of Steel director Zack Snyder, who strongly denied to the press last year that General Zod would be the villain in his Superman reboot ... then cast Michael Shannon as Zod a few months later.

Just go with John De Lancie as "Q"

Just go with John De Lancie as "Q"

I don't know how you could do a Star Trek movie with Q as the main antagonist.

That's all he ever did was antagonize so it'd be a perfect fit

[Relaxing Dragon]

Sorry, the ponies took Q (actor and personality):

Spoiler

Going to the conclusion Badass Digest has jumped to, Khan will be the villain for the sequel. Haven't any stance on that, seeing as I still haven't gotten around to watching Wrath of Khan (it's on my Netflix queue, I'll get to it).

[daltysmilth]

The difference between that character and Q seems to be that the main reason Q interacted with any "lesser beings" like Picard was merely to satisfy his sick sense of humor more than any personal malice, whereas this character does seem to have a sense of malice against the ponies.

[shodan]

q as a villian would be awesome on so many levels. maybe follow the the Next Generation - Q Continuum: novel storyline only with kirk.

See, now That would make me go see this in a theater

Only problem: Age has taken it's toll on him based on recent pics

[Bob]

Just put one of the Star Wars prequels' villians in it and blow the mind of every fan of both series.

He looked okay in Torchwood. I mean he's older but he doesn't look bad.
