Do We Have A Front Runner For The Villain In Trek 2?

Apparently, there is a “juicy” rumour that J.J. Abrams and company have one man in mind when they think villain for the so far officially unannounced “Star Trek 2″. Rewinding just a bit here, much of the questions asked to J.J. during the Blu-Ray release party by inquisitive and intrepid reporters is whether or not the character of Khan will be rebooted for the next installment. I think it’s a pretty sure thing.

So ComingSoon has heard a juicy rumour that the guy that would be playing the great Khan would be none other than Nestor Carbonell, who plays the venerable but well preserved Richard Albert on LOST. This is the man that would get the part if filming were to start today.

Despite my love for Nestor, I’m thinking that a few other more known actors would be considered for the role before Nestor, just for crowd drawing purposes. This certain someone would really need to be able to chew some scenery to compete with Ricardo Montalban’s epic previous efforts. Thanks ComingSoon for your rumour slurping abilities.
