Star Trek 2009 is on and I just noticed something, at the start of the movie where we see a young Kirk driving that nice corvette, there's a kid walking down the street and Kirk yells "Hey Johnny"........could that be Cumberbatch's character as a kid?
They did say Kirk would have a history with him, right, so......?
I really don't think he's Khan at all, I think if he's anyone previously seen, he's Gary Mitchell.
I'm saying he's a seperate character connected to Khan. I just think they'd want to build up the Kirk-Khan rematch with elxplicit advertisement.
I don't think he's Khan either but there's some connection. He might be based off of him. The fact they're using Alice Eve and that scene with the Spock and Kirk peace sign through the glass says a lot. Abrams hasn't even denied a connection to Khan when asked about it.
Do people really want Khan to be in the movie that badly?
I really hope he isn't Khan.
I have to agree with the "no Khan" hopes. It's fine if he's connected to Khan distantly due to the divergence of the timeline but I'd rather him not be straight up Khan. Khan has been done and it was a great movie, no need to go back to the character in this timeline.

Maybe he was one of the genetically engineered humans from the Botany Bay?

Probably already been mentioned, but if not...
The other day I was watching that crappy movie with Chris Pine and Tom Hardy, This Means War. At one point, Hardy's character uses the alias... John Harrison.
DUN DUN DUN
I think I've figured it out.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IS PLAYING TOM HARDY!!!! MOST EPIC STAR TREK VILLAIN EVERRRRRR!!!!

If Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Robert April, I wonder if he will have any connection to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701}?
Which I HATE to no end. It just does nothing for me. It was dumb with Robin and it was dumb with Moneypenny.
Hardcore fans hated it, but casual fans loved it. As Spock so eloquently put it in this film: "The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few." The crowd clapped and cheered when the alias 'Robin' was utilized. I severely doubt the identical type of reaction would've been found with 'Dick Grayson'.
Of course it does nothing for you, but writers and filmmakers aren't just catering to fans like yourself.
They've spoken about adjusting things when Cumberbatch was cast.
Basically I think the villain was originally some variation Kahn, perhaps he was always a n augmented former starfleet member rather than an escaped former dictator.
When Cumberbatch was cast it was probably moved even further from the classic kahn, still an augment, still basically what they were always doing, but with his background somewhat adjusted and the dialogue rewritten to fit the actor as is often done.
