The next villain?

I'd love to see R-rated Klingons showing what a brutal weapon a batleth can be, but that's never going to happen.

Weren't Lursa and Betor enough?

No. Enough would be guys like Ray Park in Klingon makeup slicing and dicing their way through armies of humans. When I see a weapon like the batleth and a warrior culture like the Klingons, I want Star Trek samurai! With all due respect to Michael Dorn and Terry Farrell, their lack of martial arts expertise and the limitations of broadcast TV greatly limited what they could do.
You said R-rated Klingons. My mind went there. :guffaw: I do agree that they are going to have to step up the fight scenes to make it entertaining.
 
The writers have said the 'villain' of the next film may be something more along the lines of a force of nature than a person. Perhaps a destructive space anomaly? A planet suffering some catastrophe?

They've also hinted it may be a character from season one of TOS, so... :shrug:
I just had this thought. Force of nature would indicate more than one. Well, I'm sure they plan on some type of prequel along the lines of what they did in the first movie. They gave us a theme (Nero destroying the Kelvan), then events that happened in both Kirk and Spock's lives while growing up, and then the follow up efforts to conclude the events of the main theme.

I'm willing to bet that Kirk's experience on Tarsus is going to be featured. I had heard that the boy who played Kirk as a kid will be in the next movie. As far as Spock, maybe his relationship with T'Pring will be featured.

I still think the main villains are going to be Klingons.
 
The baby Kirk seen in the shuttle was a robot. As was baby Spock in the deleted scene. Their faces were animated with CG.

I like this. I'm tired of the boring old "villain of the week" concept.

According to Memory Alpha (admittedly not always a great source), in Star Trek Eleven, James T. Kirk was portrayed by Chris Pine, Joshua Greene, Jimmy Bennett and an uncredited "infant performer."

Do you have a reference for robo-baby?

:)
 
If I was running it, I would make the enemy more the situation than a character. The federation has been weakened by Nero, Kirk is very inexperienced and was promoted too soon, the Klingons are defensive because they were also weakened, and the Romulans being Romulans would start to take advantage of things. It would be similar to the Empire strike back as part of an Abramsverse trilogy.

I have a Picture :)
Here, here and here are the articles with more make up/alien pics.
 
Bat'leths are terrible weapons. There's a reason Michael Dorn asked them to create something else, resulting in the more practical mek'leth.

As for a new villain, hmm. Definitely not Khan. The only villains from the first season that I would like to see are the Romulan Commander (not gonna happen, with good reason), Kor (only if he has a flat forehead), the Gorn Captain or Harry Mudd!
