Edgar Ramirez may be the new del Toro in Star Trek (1)2

^ He looks a lot more like Montalban than Del Toro does.
I'm going with Khan on this one....Montalban was a Spanish actor, and so far, we've got 3 Spanish actors Abrams has been looking towards for the part.
[nitpick]
Only one of the four (Jordi Mollà) is Spanish. Benicio del Toro is Puerto Rican, Édgar Ramírez is Venezuelan and Montalban was from Mexico. [/nitpick]
M', geography weenie

Ah, yes, but that being said, quite aways from Africans, Asians, Russians, Irish, etc etc.
I can see it.
Kh-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-n!

Oh, this is going to be so-o-o much better than "why isn't Abrams letting William Shatner appear as old Kirk?"
Ramierez might be an excellent choice. He is apparently buffing up to play Ares for the next crappy Clash of The Titans film. I have not seen Carlos but I have been told he is quite excellent in it
Ramirez and Molla each have their pros and Khans.
That was terrible!
Seriously, you khannot go around making puns like that an expect to get away with it!
What a lazy sequel idea if they ARE actually having Khan as the villain. Whilst it's good to see some of the classic characters, they really should be looking to do some new stuff and not reimagining TWOK - even if it does roughly fall around the 30th anniversary.
In my opinion, no one should play Khan except for Ricardo Montalban. It was a one-off role that he nailed perfectly, even when he returned to it 15 years later. I think the character should remain retired from live action as it was in TWOK and Abrams and Co should endeavour to try something truly original now that the torch has been passed.
You can't just cast an Hispanic actor and expect them to play the role of a Sikh character. The reason that Montalban did it so well was because of his unique features and his ability to neutralise his native accent. His delivery was clear and well spoken and that was what made it believable that he was playing a genetically engineered madman from a Sikh ethnic background! If they really plan on having Khan as the bad guy, they should look for someone who has those abilities that Montalban possessed, rather than looking for a Hispanic actor who is geared towards the bad roles.

But who will they get to play Tattoo??
I vote Robert Beltran.
Too tall.
Use CGI.
