    Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan Noonien Singh! WTF!
    For all you Trekkies out there, it's been more or less confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing the greatest Trek villain ever - Khan Noonien Singh.

    Have to say I have mixed feelings on this one. Great to see Khan back...but Cumberbatch? He doesn't exactly look like he could pass for Indian in the same way Ricardo Montalban did!

    What do you think?

    Pretty ridiculous, it's not even his ethnicity that does it, it's the fact there's no way he could have the ULTIMATE MAN CHEST required to play Khan, as Montalban did.

    I wonder how Cumberbatch will play it? Posh or sinister? or Sinister and posh?
