Benedict Cumberbatch Lands Villain Role in STAR TREK Sequel

[YosemiteSam]

I loved the first movie. What pisses me off about this is this damn movie should have already been in production. :yousuck:

================================

Star Trek 2 has a villain once more. After Benicio Del Toro surprisingly passed on the villain role in J.J. Abrams’ highly anticipated sci-fi follow-up, Edgar Ramirez and Jordi Mollà were reportedly under consideration. Now British actor Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock) has been cast in the part. The actor has been having a stellar year, as he appeared in Steven Spileberg’s War Horse and was one of the best parts of the espionage thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He’s set to play Smaug (via motion-capture) in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, and now he’s poised for Star Trek greatness.

Cumberbatch's good in the Sherlock Holmes series, playing Holmes as a very clever high functioning sociopath. The show's Watson is also pretty good.

Wow...I thought they had been making a Star Trek sequel by now.

Is it going to be a sequel to the prequel of the young Kirk and Spock,or a sequel way after the Kirk and Spock characters have gone?

This is a sequel to the rebooted Star Trek movies.

Probably isn't going to be Khan. Although Barren was mentioned, he is already filming as.the villain in the new James Bond movie.

Just not enough really good villains to go around I guess.
