Damn, dat timing. Was just about to go to the "Recommend a film" thread as I just watched Star Trek again (finished in 10 minutes ago).
Was going to post how it is a damn good film, I forgot how good it was.
Also, I was reading the wiki and apparently the trailer will be released with The Hobbit on December 14. In even better news, a 9 minute clip will be attached to the IMAX release of The Hobbit.
 I hope the IMAX in Chinook shows it, the last time a movie promised that (Dark Knight was supposed to show the Superman teaser) they didn't show it.
Lastly, some troubling news about the new movie. Damon Lindelof is co-writing it.

That poster looks like it should be for The Matrix.

I figured it would be either Mitchell, Mudd, or the Telosians. Khan, IMO, is just too iconic to re-do/remake.
Mitchell would be a perfect fit.

Does it necessarily have to be a TOS character? A member of the Q continuum would be a good fit. Though I suppose there is debate over whether Gary Mitchell is a Q.

Isn't that the "gherkin" in London on the bottom right of the poster? It has been suggested that the poster is a destroyed starfleet academy (in san fran), but maybe not.
Can't tell for sure, but the guy in poster kinda looks like it could be Christopher Pike

It's definitely the Gherkin.
You can also see the London Eye on the left side.
I'm sure there are a few other London landmarks on there too.
The website is for .co.uk I'd be willing to bet that there is an American version of the poster with landmarks from San Fran, or New York or something.

No, but I read an interview quite a while back (circa 2010-2011) that said the next villain would be a character true to the original series and someone we would be familiar with.

If you go to the .com site, it's still London: http://www.startrekmovie.com/
You can change your country and it will take you to local versions of the site, but they all still have London.

Harry Mudd
Or an invasion by tribbles
Set phasers on fluffy.
I'd like to see them redo the episode where the enterprise arrives on a planet that is populated by 20th century mobsters.
Capt. Kirk: [ into communicator] Kirk to Enterprise.
Scott: Enterprise. Scott here, sir.
Capt. Kirk: [ talking like a Chicago mobster] You got Krako on ice?
Scott: Aye, he's here. Mad enough to chew neutronium, but behavin' himself.
Capt. Kirk: OK, baby, cool him until I flag you.
Scott: Flag me?
Capt. Kirk: [ normal voice] Keep him there until I send for him.
Capt. Kirk: [ as mobster] We're gonna make some old-style phone calls from this locale. So you, ah, locate the man at de other end o' de blower and give 'im a ride to this flop.
Scott: What?
Capt. Kirk: [ normal voice] Find the man at the other end of the phone and transport him to these coordinates.
Capt. Kirk: [ back as mobster] Can do, sweetheart?
Scott: [ dubiously] Can do, Captain.
Capt. Kirk: [ adopting a Chicago gangster accent] Now, you cooperate wid us and, uh, maybe we'll cut choo in for a piece o' dee action.
Spock: A minuscule... A very small piece.
Jojo Krako: How much is that?
Capt. Kirk: That's, uh...
Capt. Kirk: [ dropping the accent] We'll figure it out later.
Jojo Krako: Thought you guys had laws! No interference!
Capt. Kirk: [ accent on] Who's interferin'? We're... takin' over!
Capt. Kirk: [ to Spock] Check?
Spock: Right.

Everyone should just make peace with the fact that the villain is going to be Gorn.
Gorn and Kirk fighting their way through London and in the background James May will be fashioning a rudimentary Lathe.
Starfleet shall be saved!

The guy in the poster looks like Cumberbatch and he appears to have pointy ears (romulan or Vulcan?).

As much as Star Trek V sucked- there is still the unanswered question about how he ended up banished to Nimbus III.
For fun, I've been considering the villians from TOS who would not have been impacted by the change in the timeline around the time of Kirk's birth:
- Khan
- Mudd
- The Gorn
- Trelaine/ Q
- V'ger or Nomad
- Possibly Charlie X
- Mirror Universe
I'm sure there's more- that's just off the top of my head.

Starships are kickass. Everyone loves starships.
