I sure hope not. Assuming we are now in an alternate timeline to TOS, that timeline skewed from TOS at the time of Kirk's birth. Khan was a product of late 20th century genetic engineering, so he would still be in stasis on that ship that is adrift.
However that does give me an idea for another movie- Kirk et al end up going back in time to prevent WWIII from happening in the 1990's. (Which would explain why they talk about it in the 1960s TV show, but it never happened for us.)
So it looks like the villain is going to be Khan?
There are a few nods to Wrath of Khan in the trailer already. There's the whole "For I have returned, to have my vengeance" and the whole Kirk/Spock separated by glass about to die bit.
If it was Gary Mitchell, wouldn't they just say? I mean, it's not a super big surprise or big deal for it to be him.
Maybe it's a young future evil Picard who had something terrible happen and goes back in time to take vengeance. Boom. That voice at the start does sound like Patrick Stewart quite a bit...

First of all, it isnt going to be Gary Mitchell. Quite honestly, thats a little low-key for the average fans to whom this movie is also pandering.
He did say that he was 'coming back for his revenge' so I'm going to say that it's Young Pike from the future who has come back to destroy civilization for taking away his ship and for making him Bruce Greenwood.
Followed by 90 minutes of gratuitous and sweaty Greenwood on Cumberbatch 'Sybokian' action.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.

Gary Mitchell wasnt British. Neither was Khan. But the man in the poster is wearing leather and we all know that Khan had a thing for leather. Particularly 'Corinthian' and 'rich.'
We also know that Khan loved Chrysler New Yorkers, but they stopped manufacturing New Yorkers in 1996 and the Gherkin didnt begin being built until 2001.
Only 5 years separate the construction of the Gherkin and the demise of the Chrysler New Yorker, it could be that this is the period of time when Khan was being genetically engineered and when he emerged from his tank/pod/coffin he was released into a society that no longer had Chrysler New Yorkers with rich Corinthian leather.
It is from here where his rage stems. He left the world alone for a few measly short years to become a superhuman and instill a little order and how do they repay him? By eliminating the production of his favourite automobile?
This is clearly a slight that Khan cannot abide and so the world must pay for it's transgressions and be crushed under his boot heels! A society cannot operate without the use of Chrysler New Yorkers! Such a fine and distinguished automobile cannot be allowed to simply slip quietly into that good night.
Khan feels betrayed that the world used his absence during genetic super-mutation to rid the globe of his favourite car and now hes coming back for vengeance.

That trailer just looked like a generic Michael Bay action movie to me. not exactly what I was expecting in a Star Trek trailer. Especially after JJ's first Star Trek film. Hopefully I am surprised when the film actually comes out but that doesn't make me very hopeful.
