Star Trek 2 Might Bring Back Shatner
Latino Review — ... that new-Khan could be as bad as old-Khan despite disimilar backstories. "Certain people are destined to cross paths and come together, and Khan is out there ... even if he doesn't have the same issues." It's a theme that Abrams already touched upon in the first film, with the Enterprise's legendary crew assembling thanks to seemingly random occurrences, like Sulu replacing a sick crew member and Kirk being stranded on Delta Vega only to find and bring back Scotty.

Shatner, Khan in Star Trek sequel?
Film Gecko — After the stellar box office numbers of "Star Trek" last week ($75.20 million), it’s no surprise that the word "sequel" is being bandied about. And J.J. Abrams says he’s open to the idea of William Shatner and/or Khan being in the next movie. "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," Abrams told MTV News. "Believe me, whether it’s William ...

JJ Abrams Says Shatner and Khan Are Possible in Star Trek Sequel
/Film — ... MTV got a chance to grill Star Trek director JJ Abrams about what we could expect in the inevitable sequel. Of course, screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have not yet started on the announced sequel, so anything at this point is just speculation. But Abrams admits that the alternative universe timeline allows them to deviate from Trek canon. ...

Could We See Khan or an Older Kirk in Star Trek Sequels?
FirstShowing.net — ... I, for one, can't wait, because the new crew that Abrams introduced us to was fantastic, and all I wanted to see at the end was their next journey. So what of a sequel? We've been talking for the last few weeks primarily about Wolverine spin-offs and sequels, so let's finally turn our focus to Star Trek. Two of the most popular ideas involve the villain Khan and an old Captain Kirk, meaning William Shatner. Abrams chatted with MTV recently, and while he's not necessarily confirmed for a sequel, writers Alex ...

Abrams Doesn't Rule Out Shatner in 'Trek' Sequels
Get The Big Picture — ... didn't like the new Star Trek pointed directly to one thing: It broke from the canon, changing the timeline around both in the introduction of a character here and there and also altering enough of the history that it's no longer required to follow the chronology of the original series. If you fall into that category, I've got bad news for you: That was the point. Discussing potential sequel ideas with MTV, director J.J. Abrams explains that the entire ...

So Many Sequels: 'Star Trek XII,' 'Terminator 5,' 'Zoolander 2' and More
RopeofSilicon.com — ... solely around the idea of possibilities. We now have an alternate timeline, and as a result we have unlimited possibilities. Khan was never abandoned on a soon-to-be-dead planet, the 23rd century will once again most likely perish due to the lack of Humpback whales, Spock never died, Kirk never died, Spock never resurrected and even Tribbles haven't invaded the Enterprise. So, what hints has director JJ Abrams dropped? Not a lot, but I am sure true Trekkies will raise an eyebrow to these statements: ...

Shatner and Khan could be in Star Trek 2
SFX — As the new movie completely reboots the series and sets Star Trek off in a new alternate reality, we have to wonder whether this means Kirk won't die when he did and he and Khan won't clash like the did. And JJ Abrams has been asked these questions by others, including the MTV movies blog , where he talked openly about some of the ideas being mooted for more films in the series: "The fun of this is that the destiny of these characters is in their hands — it's not constrained by the pre-existing films or TV series," Abrams told MTV. "Believe me, whether it's William Shatner or ...
