Khan and Shatner in Star Trek sequel?


From worstpreviews, "Star Trek" writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman previously revealed that one of the toughest things about writing the movie was the fact that audiences already knew the fate of the characters. As a result, they had to create a way to change their destinies in order to leave the door open for familiar characters to make their return.

Now, director JJ Abrams has revealed to MTV News that both Khan and William Shatner' Captain Kirk could both be showing up in future installments. "The fun of this [new alternate 'Trek' reality] is that the destiny of these characters is in their hands — it's not constrained by the pre-existing films or TV series," he said. "Believe me, whether it's William Shatner or Khan ... it would be ridiculous to not be open to those ideas."

He continued: "[Khan and Kirk] exist — and while their history may not be exactly as people are familiar with, I would argue that a person's character is what it is. Certain people are destined to cross paths and come together, and Khan is out there ... even if he doesn't have the same issues."
