Del Toro without question.
Honestly, I've never heard of this guy. And lighten up.
I don't see him as the seething genetically superior Kahn, though. For bubbling rage and revenge Benicio Del Toro is pretty perfect.
No Khan!
Uninspired idea.
@WetRats - I agree, mostly due to the fact that this is a different Star Trek. In the original series Kirk and Khan had some background, there was history there that warranted Khan being a movie villian. With this new Trek that will not be the case.
But that said, if they are going to do Khan again, I would rather the actor be as different as possible from the original. And while both Del Toro and Cumberbatch are very different than Montalban, I think that, energy-wise, Cumberbatch is more different.
For me it is the same with the Superman reboot. I would rather it not be Zod again, but if you are going to go with Zod, I am glad that in Michael Shannon they have not only an incredible actor, but also one who couldn't be more different from Terrence Stamp.
