I have read more than one interview where Abrhams has stated that he really would like to use the Khan story!
If he messes with Khan I will not see it!

Rumor that will cause me not to see the sequel!
- Thread starter GalaxyClass1701
- Start date
That's the spirit!
If they use Khan in the sequel I will most definitely see it. 
I imagine there are studio people who think this is a very good idea, and Abrams thinks it's a maybe-good-maybe-not idea.

I would hope so. Abrams also said he wanted this film to have a moral and some social relevance. This may not necessarily rule out having Khan in it, but it does give me hope about how good this sequel may be.
Only if she were played by Gina Torres.
I'd like to think they can come up with an original idea of their own...
^but no one in hollywon't will pay to create anything new. how many times can we watch Godzilla or KingKong? evidently about 38. until they come up with something that is brand spankin' new I'll still give Star Trek my moolah. over and over again. If we can't win with originality we can beat em' with other numbers ($).
I'm so boycotting this movie if they don't have Chris Pine in his underwear again!
Well, ok. I'll go anyway.
But if i've said it once, i've said it a thousand times. PULEEEZE no Khan. Please JJ?

Khan only worked in TWOK because of the events that happened after Space Seed that turned him into a vengeance seeking villain. The Khan of Space Seed was a brilliant leader used to being in control who suddenly found himself in another time and with no world of his own. He was a dangerous man, but not villainous.
Kirk was eventually able to gain control over him, reason with him, and give him a chance to establish a world of his own. At the end of the episode, I think Khan actually had some respect for Kirk.
In short, the hook that made Khan Khan in TWOK wouldn't be there in a movie that used him in another context. He'd know Kirk less well than Nero even did (at least what Nero knew of his universe's Kirk).
