Cumberbatch can act well. So I'm not worried about him doing 'Khan' well.

Why Cumberbatch isn't playing Sybok is beyond me.

I'd really like to see this sequel do a classic 'monster-of-the-week' or 'Mission to Tiberius V' type of thing, but stuff like that just doesn't fly marketing wise.

I'm hoping we all understand that Khan's character arc is more-so about meglomania than him being a persecuted minority? What ethnicity the actor is has very little relevance, especially since we don't have a leaked script or know what this new Khan's role in the movie is.

Are you saying there wasn't a single non-white person who could have done as good a job?

This really isn't an issue of affirmative action though?

We really need to get some perspective here: JJ Abrams and co. aren't turning Virgil Tibbs into a white Jewish liberal.

...whose ethnicity [Khan's] has already been coded into the audience's expectations...

Seriously? This is an awful stretch.

I didn't see a link for the new trailer after Aatrek's screens, so here you go (this is not the nine-minute preview).
