Edger Ramirez looks to be top of Paramount Studios list to play the villain in J.J. Abrams STAR TREK sequel after Benicio Del Toro turned the role down. Impressive supporting roles in THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM and VANTAGE POINT may have gotten Ramirez a foot in the Hollywood door, but his astonishing turn in CARLOS THE JACKAL has given his career a major boost.
Abrams acclaimed STAR TREK reboot impressed enough long standing fans as well as a new generation of movie-goers to warrant a big-budget follow-up. The recent announcement that the crew of the Starship Enterprise will once more step aboard, has fans itching to see if the rumoured villian Khan will be part of the plot.
