He is a great villain. I don&#8217;t want to say too much and then have to eat my words as I often do, but we&#8217;ve seen Khan. To see him again, how much value is there in that? I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Burk, when asked about Khan in <em>Star Trek 2<\/em>, said &#8220;There are amazing villains all throughout the <em>Star Trek<\/em> universe as well as new villains,&#8221; he said. &#8220;As we did in the last film, there&#8217;s a lot of directions you can go with the film. In this case, we chose to do something we thought would be original and unique and different, and I think on paper, we made the right choice. Now we have to go shoot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One thing <em>Star Trek 2<\/em> will see is a quick start compared to <em>Star Trek XI<\/em>, where characters needed to be established first. &#8220;Unlike the last film, where we were restarting and setting up the characters &#8230; we&#8217;re going to jump right back in, and we don&#8217;t have to set up everybody and we can go right in it,&#8221; said Burk. &#8220;We&#8217;re kind of in a mad dash at the beginning of the film. In all of our conversation, we reference a lot of our favorite films and how <em>Empire Strikes Back<\/em> was spectacular and how they were able to pick up and keep going.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Trek 2<\/em> releases in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to two people associated with Star Trek 2, Khan will probably not be making&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2689],"tags":[2555,2694,2572],"class_list":["post-13578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-xii","tag-burk","tag-khan","tag-pegg"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xii\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek Into Darkness<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek Into Darkness","comment_count":"9","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13578"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13580,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13578\/revisions\/13580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
