To Khan Or Not To Khan

Are fans really clamoring to see a rebooted Khan show up in the Star Trek sequel? Do they lack that much of an imagination? Jesus Christ, that’s about as lazy as having Zod as the villain in the next Superman movie. Check out Phil’s Memo to the Executives to see what he’d do with the second film in the Abramsverse. Hint: there’s no Khan whatsoever.

Nonetheless, MTV asked Abrams themselves and there-after got one Helluva non-answer:

"Dealing with Khan would certainly be a challenge, but we had an equal challenge in finding our crew of the Enterprise. While I don’t want to approach the second film as a remake of episodes we’ve seen in the past... nothing is off limits in terms of what we’re discussing."

With all due respect will Abrams and/or screenwriters Alex Kurtzman & Bob Orci please do everyone favor and just answer the damn question(s) with a definitive “No.” Does anyone seriously think they’re going to reboot that character this soon in juncture? Maybe by the time a third or fourth one comes along, but not now.
