Recast..KHAN!!!

[RobertScorpio]

Oh, you have to know that JJ might go there..why not? Khan is to Kirk as Joker is to Batman..and we all know it...

So, Kirk has been recasted...who do you see playing Khan if they go down that road?

Some of us might be calling this a reboot, but I really doubt they'd go that far.

That said, I have no idea who would play Khan. I can't picture him as anyone other than Ricardo Montelban.

True..though I read they were going to use Edward James Omos had Montebalm not taken the role...

Oh, and if Khan is a Sikh? I could easily see them recasting the role with someone who actually is..Sikh..or at least from India.

I can see Freddie Prince Jr playing a young Khan.

JJ could not even hope to improve upon that classic.

That being said, I think JJ's natural enemy, Bill Shatner himself, would make a nice Khan Noonien Singh.

I agree that a recast Khan should be Indian. How about Naveen Andrews? Or Naseeruddin Shah, who was Captain Nemo in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

I like the Naveen Andrews pick..not sure of the other person. The Indian dude from Heroes maybe, but he may be a bit too soft...

As for them doing it? I think its the next step. This is a reboot, from this point on..and everyone in the world knows that famous line..

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANN!!!!!!!!!

JJ will think of it, and he will go there..and why not? Every hero needs an arch-nemesis and for Kirk? It is Khan...

Khan's chest in TWOK was 100% real. How many times does this myth have to be debunked before it dies?

 

[Markas]

If such an abomination would occur, I nominate Hrithik Roshan, who is a big Bollywood star.

Forty-two. (Oh no wait, that's the answer to a different question altogether...)

Yeah, he'd do as young Khan... Nana Patekar as older Khan.

(or you could cheat and cast Bachchan pere et fils...)

Kal Penn of course.

Thanks! Phoenix does good villains and creepy characters, like Commodus in Gladiator and Max California in 8 MM. -- RR
