Stavros Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 So she was in Starfleet? Because given her history that doesn't seem to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Given the fact that Starfleet and the Federation as a whole were altered by Nero's incursion, it's possible. The tragedy of the Kelvin (not to mention the fleet massacre and genocide at Vulcan) might have persuaded her to enlist. Like how military recruitment numbers skyrocketed after 9/11.

KnightWing Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 What the what? So he's like Sybok then, he's Spock's messed up brother? That's not how people have been taking that scene at all, but I guess it's a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I was just going off The scene where the hands touch the glass. The person on one side in black would be Cumberbatch because we established both what he was wearing and that he was in a glass cell. The other in blue is Spock because he's throwing up the Vulcan sign. They touch the glass directly as the word family is said, by Cumberbatch, in the VO. He has to be Sybok or similar right?

KnightWing Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I kinda doubt it. For one thing, we know from the IMAX preview that Cumberbatch approaches a family and offers them the chance to save their loved one, so that line could be from there. Also, Kirk wears at least four different outfits in the trailer, and the generic black shirt is actually the normal uniform's undershirt, so it could still be Kirk. Lastly, Cumberbatch doesn't have pointed ears or eyebrows; Spock has pointed ears despite being only half-Vulcan, so by all rights Cumberbatch should have them as well. I figure the "family" line was just meant to add weight to the last two shots, echoing TWOK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 See, I thought that was a callback to the infamous Kirk and Spock scene at the end of Wrath of Khan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Spock could have a human brother. Or alternately surgical alteration is common in Star Trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Evil Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Interview with Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve. Sort of spoilers as it contains their character names. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cMWQ3kKv-bU So, going by this interview, it looks like Alice Eve is playing Dr Carol Marcus, Kirk's baby mama, and Cumberbatch is playing neither Khan nor Gary Mitchell but a character named John Harrison, who he describes as a one man WMD.

Koete Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I think all of this secrecy around the name of Benedict Cumberbatch's character is a smokescreen to direct interviewers away from asking how many lens flares are in the movie.

Dan Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 According to the Entertainment Weekly site, Benedict Cumberbatch's character is Khan, to the surprise of exactly no one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Yeah, Im cool with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Apparently EW's headline was misleading. If the rumor is true and Cumberbatch is merely calling himself Khan, that makes a lot of sense. It's been basically confirmed that Cumberbatch is a genetically-modified mega-terrorist, so it makes sense that he'd think himself akin to the famously tyrannical conqueror.

Kenny Evil Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 At this point, I'm fully aware that Cumberbatch won't be playing Gary Mitchell, but I'm still holding onto hope that he won't be Khan either. The second movie really established Khan in pop culture, far more so than The Space Seed did. until Wrath of Khan, Khan was just another Star Trek villain like Charlie X or Kang or a Gorn. I was really hoping that it would be Gary Mitchell or some other minor villain from the original series so that they could explore the potential of a character who was previously over and done with in 45 minutes in the same way Khan was. That said, i'm still going to watch this movie and I'll probably have a lot of fun while doing so. Non-board related fact: my sister-in-law's due date is around about the time of the release of this film. my brother's already told her that he's going to be watching this film no matter what.
