So, by now you've all heard the rumors about Benecio Del Toro's quick rise and fall as a possible substitute for Ricardo Montalban's Khan. Now it seems that there are two more possibilities for an alternate universe super human with superior intellect. According to Variety (via Conventry Telegraph), Edgar Ramirez (The Bourne Ultimatum, Vantage Point, Carlos the Jackal miniseries, upcoming Wrath of the Titans) and Jordi Molla (Bad Boys II, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Knight and Day) might be up for the job.

Here's our two cents; why Khan? Yes we understand that Ricardo Montalban was Latin and played a Sikh, but why would J.J. make the same choice and have an actor of Latin descent take on the role of someone from the Indian subcontinent? Okay, continuity... Sure, but were dealing with an alternate universe here. Why not have an actually a Sikh play a Sikh? I think that would be a step in the right direction. Don't you?

To be blatantly honest, I think I'd be okay with a new Khan. I mean, Star Trek XI was a nice surprise and J.J. has yet to disappoint with his other films. I would just like to see a screen rendition of Trekcast's verion of Khan. I think I'd be down with that... or maybe Jack Black as Harry Mudd...
