Chances are that we will know very soon when the 9 minutes and the real trailer are out.
Are you so sure?
I like not knowing. If possible, it would be cool to be able to make it all the way to the premiere not knowing.
Not going to happen. We have the prequel comic beginning next month and even if that for some reason that doesn't reveal his identity, the action figure which is sure to be released in April certainly will.
Just wait until the other trailer and the 9 minutes preview comes and reports go online.
People are going to start bitching Abrams is spoiling too much of the movie.![]()
Why would they announce the villain now? The fan speculation has been flooding the internet for months (years?) and the vagueness of the trailer has only heightened it. The tidbits of information fed to us by JJ, Orci, and Lindelof are meant to keep us guessing and thus keep us talking about the new movie. JJ et al. know exactly what they're doing from a marketing perspective.
Clearly they went on faith!As predicted, Benedict Cumberbatch plays the villain Khan Noonien Singh in the second Star Trek film which features Chris Pine as Captain Kirk.
Looking at Trek Movie's archives, I have determined that the fans knew that the Romulan Nero was the villain by mid-summer 2008. This was less than a year away from the premiere of Star Trek. Now, we have less time before the next film opens, approximately six months, and we don't know who the villain will be or his race.

yeah but ST09 was originally planned for xmas 2008 so that would've been 6 months in advance of release too...

The script makes it clear that Garth is not human - he refers to Kirk's species as Earth people. He never addressed himself as a human.
The issue is murkier than I thought. We have examples of humanoids calling humans Earth people. We have examples of humans calling themselves as Earth people. So, Garth of Izar could be a humanoid or a human. He further refers to Shakespeare as an "Earth man". Would a human colonist refer to Shakespeare in this way? (The last usage of this phrase appeared in the episode "Justice".)
That sizable audience of average movie-goers will probably be blissfully unaware of the villain's identity until next May -- and some may not even know until they actually see the film.

I'm pretty sure we knew in February/March 2008 that the release had been pushed to May 2009...

My favourite quote from a Dad to his young family on opening night of "Star Trek" (2009), as the movie came to a close:
"I thought Eric Bana was supposed to be in this movie?"
I loved this bit:^ Not only is it Khan, we are also in uproar about it.
