Is the real Star Trek II best picture worthy? No, but it has a depth that no other Trek Movie has even come close to. Any version of Khan in the JJverse would be cheap imitation filled with Uhura bra shots and lens flares.

Fair enough, but even the first movie of the reboot had a ton of retreaded factors. The Kobayashi Maru, McCoy's nickname, etc.
Hey, I'm not saying I want to see them introduce a new Khan, I just figure the plot of the first movie leaves the possibility open. Chris Pine was able to pull off a convincing James Kirk without a cheap Shatner imitation, Khan could be re-invented as well (as cringeworthy as that may sound to the die hard loyalists).
According to the leaked photos from February, I wouldn't be surprised if Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Gary Mitchell. Perhaps the reports I read a year ago are wrong, and they have come up with a completely original villain. Nostalgia prefers the former, but I would be excited to see a new series of baddies.
