Benedict Cumberbatch is Khan!

Even though Benedict Cumberbatch has denied repeatedly that he is playing Khan, a new Entertainment Weekly webpage has revealed that he is in fact Khan, and not John Harrison.

One of the best kept secrets in all of Hollywood has been, who is Benedict Cumberbatch ("Sherlock") playing in Star Trek Into Darkness? If you look below you'll see that Entertainment Weekly has spoiled the surprise with the headline "Kirk & Khan." So, it looks like Cumberbatch will be filling be playing the classic Star Trek villain, originally played by Ricardo Montalban ("Fantasy Island").

I remember a John Cho interview where he said his fave villain was Khan because he was PoC. If Benedict is Khan, then WOW, this is fucked up.
babydiego 7th-Feb-2013 08:55 pm (UTC)
his fav villain was someone purely because they weren't white? lol wut
justbolognese 7th-Feb-2013 08:58 pm (UTC)
Is that...a bad thing? And surely, it's among other things, like the fact that it was motherfucking Khan.
wauwy 7th-Feb-2013 09:20 pm (UTC)
That wasn't the ONLY reason he was his favorite, he just mentioned it in passing.

A Cumberstain stan would question the Choverlord.

Sttoooooooop. I'm just starting to come around to Cumbersnoot, and it's annoying how much he and his fans are hated at ONTD. You're making it worse.

I was just about to say this. ugh i don't want to deal with any of this
cky989 7th-Feb-2013 10:53 pm (UTC)
yep I keep thinking about that interview too... and it (or at least the one I'm thinking about) is really recent so if Benedict IS Khan, he would have already known while saying that... :(

Yeah, either Cumberbatch isn't Khan or Cho is throwing some vicious shade at JJ.
magzness 7th-Feb-2013 08:52 pm (UTC)
basically I'm not believing anything until after I've watched the movie

No bueno.

This franchise could have gone in a million directions since it rebooted the continuity. But it's just rehashing shit that didn't need to be rehashed.
adigallia 7th-Feb-2013 08:59 pm (UTC)
ITA. If they are intent on just rehashing shit instead of coming up with original ideas, at least rehash something from TOS that was done poorly. No need to mess with a storyline that was really good.

GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH AT LEAST RICARDO MONTALBAN WAS A BROWN MAN ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS PASTY WHITE BOY I WILL CUT YOU ABRAMS
imnotasquirrel 7th-Feb-2013 09:06 pm (UTC)
isn't ricardo actually the son of spanish immigrants? (that's what wiki tells me.) he might have been mexican, but idk if he was necessarily poc.
yurasama_love 7th-Feb-2013 09:20 pm (UTC)
But Spaniards can also be a mix of people; he could have had some small Arab ancestry.
doctorsmythe 7th-Feb-2013 09:09 pm (UTC)
Wasn't he white too? His parents were Spanish.

Your comment coupled w your icon is cracking me up.
jello404 7th-Feb-2013 08:59 pm (UTC)
Lol that man is not Khan,and even if he was,JJ would die before he let this type of information leak out to anyone. Let alone EW. I'm calling bullshit until the film hits.
miniglik 7th-Feb-2013 10:54 pm (UTC)
I think he's going to be Sort-Of-Khan. Like, connected to Khan in some way but not quite him.
duskyfox 7th-Feb-2013 11:57 pm (UTC)
Jumping on this train. Partially because I flat-out refuse to believe that Benedict is Khan, and partially because I can't believe the press control on this would be so sloppy if he were.
hemsworth 8th-Feb-2013 01:29 am (UTC)
yup, this is what i believe
courtney_beth 7th-Feb-2013 08:59 pm (UTC)
At this point, they seem to just be throwing out random names of possible characters.

My new theory: He's TRELANE.

Omg I would die! I just watched Squire of Gothos and fucking loved him! The actor was terrific!
mrsdracula 7th-Feb-2013 09:04 pm (UTC)
please no. Still think it is a mistake but you never know....
therearewords 7th-Feb-2013 09:05 pm (UTC)
But we already rip most of Khan's story for the previous film I want to believe J.J. won't copy his first film entirely.
solsty 7th-Feb-2013 09:07 pm (UTC)
I don't know anything about Star Trek and I'm only here for OP's glorious icon.

fffff
wauwy 7th-Feb-2013 09:21 pm (UTC)
Yeah if JJ had a decent bone in his body he would either deny this disgustingness or admit to his incredible fuckup.
pacificway 7th-Feb-2013 09:39 pm (UTC)
I love all of your John Cho icons.
jearsforqueers 7th-Feb-2013 09:22 pm (UTC)
ya'll need to calm down. it wasn't confirmed and it's probably the writer of the article stirring the shit pot.
