"STAR TREK Into Darkness" - 2013

a borg cube, that would be GREAT! it's a mirror universe, anything is possible!
romulans and klingons would be cool to.

Well this is good news.

I'd love to see a big Klingon presence in the next movie but the is also a huge opportunity to do a lot more with the Romulans too. I always thought they were underused especially in the movies. With Vulcan gone and the knowledge that Romulus is on borrowed time I would expect the Romulans to take more of an aggressive stance on the Federation.

Romulans got short-shrift in Trek prime movies. They weren't even done justice in "Nemesis", IMHO.

Agreed.  I wouldn't mind seeing some more Romulans.

Looks like Robocop has joined the cast!

That's cool news.  He plays a very convincing bad guy (assuming he'll be on that side of things in the movie).  Plus he has some Trek history too from being on Enterprise.

[Dangelus]

Ooh he'd make a great Romulan! :)

Ooooh. Great casting. He was a fun bad guy on Dexter. I think he could also be cool as like some kind of badass starship captain.

Benicio Del Toro OUT of Star Trek 2...bummer.

aww dang!

Maybe he WAS going to be Khan after all.....

That's what the article says...

Well it just restates the rumours but nothing official. Looks like his casting fell through over $$. Also I can't see Peter Weller playing Khan so either he is not the main baddie, they are hastily rewriting the script or Khan was never in the movie at all.

JJ Abrams has stated recently that Khan wasn't going to be the villain - ever.  So, the easy guess now is Benicio might have played whatever ever bad guy role is now going to Peter Weller.  At least maybe.  They seem like different types of actors, ages, looks, etc.  Unless the villain is in pretty heavy makeup maybe, as in a Klingon, Romulan, etc.  We'll know soon enough.

Lol just because he said it doesn't mean it's true! :)

Well, when it comes right from the man himself I try to take him on his word.  :)
