Who do you think will be the villain in the film?

Would anyone be opposed to Q showing up? More as a thorn in the side, and not a villain?

I would. Q/Trelaine/et al are bad antagonists because they are too poweful and turn the project into an exercise in jumping through hoops.
 
Didn't either the writers or one of the co-producers say in an interview recently that Khan was definitely OUT as the "villain"?
Sort of. But, the way it was phrased, it may have meant that Benicio Del Toro (who turned down a part in the movie) wasn't going to be Khan.
 
The main baddie in STXII will be a Klingon (possibly Kor or Kang) but Khan, found and thawed by Klingons not long after the timeline splt, will be gradually revealed as the manipulating mastermind behind everything (and the mentor of Kirk's Klingon rival), puppeting the Empire from the shadows.

Then, epic Kirk vs. Khan showdown in Star Trek XIII, coinciding with Trek's 50th anniversary.

why do you think they would do klingons? just curious.
Orci stated in the writer's comments on the 2009 movie that they wanted, had to revisit Rura Penthe, in the next movie. Since this is a Klingon prison/slave colony, it's reasonable to assume Klingon's will be involved.
Not really... Delta Vega was a lithium mining colony on the edge of the galaxy, but in ST'09, you could see Vulcan from Delta Vega.
 
Rura Penthe was in the ST'09 deleted scenes. That's what they meant by "revisit". FWIW, although it was still a Klingon prison planet, it was no longer a frozen wasteland (presumably since the movie already had a frozen planet)

Different Delta Vega.

You can't see the Colosseum from Rome, NY.
 
Salt vampires! They learned from Nero that McCoy killed the last of their kind in the other timeline and now they want...salt...and maybe like revenge.
 
Y'know what? I wouldn't be against Salt Vampires. Re-imagined of course, but the basic concept of them was quite interesting.
 
Although never really visible, there was a true-to-TOS Salt Vampire as one of the workers in the Rura Penthe deleted scenes.

I know. They are extinct in one timeline (assumed so) and not in another.

I gotta wonder why they'd let some psychic disguising salt sucking monster mingle with potential victims. Maybe it's been spayed or something.

I don't see how the existence of exactly one other salt vampire (who, since the timelines split 20 years beforehand, could even be the very same one!) renders the species not extinct.
 
The main villain will be portrayed by someone of latin descent.

Just go ask my ex(-con) friend named Arturo Molina of Huntington Beach, California. :rolleyes:
 
The main villain will be played by a pasty-faced Brit.

However, whoever he's playing, that character also could have been played by a Latino. That rules out Khan and Gary Seven. Possibilities include Romulans and Klingons (my quatloos are on the latter).
