ORIGINAL: Timon So Weller is playing a CEO of some company/corporation (The Orion Syndicate) and Edgar Ramirez may be up for Del Toro's role... which everyone still believe is Khan. I honestly can't see them going down that route - Kurtzman and Orci have often spoken of their love for Wrath of Khan and can't imagine them giving it a go for fear of screwing it up Nemesis could be seen as (no, IS) a reworking of Wrath of Khan in lots of ways, and the bad guy Plot from the reboot ALSO has large elements of Khan in the bad guy (seeking revenge on Vulcans/Spock and in a minor twist on Kirk shouting KHAAAAANNNN!!! Nero does the same when he shouts Spock's name, For the next film to be Wrath of Khan influenced (at all, let alone a new take on it), making it the third film in a row to riff on it, might be, um, how can I put it 'A bit fucking lazy'. Perhaps more interesting, given that Khan WILL exist in the alternative timeline at some point might be to let things run as they might have if the initial encounter didn't happen and when what he had in mind was en route to being carried out, or actually being carried out. Then you don't have Wrath of Khan happening , but what the original Kirk marooned him to prevent. So, I don't know, an almost encounter with Khan and followers/a start of discussuins about Khan's ideas cut short because Kirk says 'we really don't have time for this', get on with the film at hand, and a later film with Khan smug and asking, 'Do you have time for this now, Kirk?' so you end up with what is essentially a 'clash of the egos' again, under different circumstances, with a war scenario, rather than the personalised one of TWOK.
