Star Trek 2 has gained another new addition to its cast with British actor-writer-director Noel Clarke (Doctor Who) coming on board. According to Variety, “While the details of Clarke’s role are being kept under wraps, he will play a family man with a wife and young daughter.” Clarke joins other newcomers Alice Eve and Peter Weller. We heard back in December that casting of the film’s villain (who will likely be Khan) was imminent, but there’s still no word on who has the role. Edgar Ramirez was previously reported as the frontrunner after Benicio Del Toro passed on the part.
In addition to his recurring role on Doctor Who, Clarke wrote and co-starred in Kidulthood and the sequel Adulthood, which he also directed. He also wrote, starred, and co-directed the crime drama 4.3.2.1 co-starring Emma Roberts and Ophelia Lovibond. I haven’t seen any of Clarke’s previous work but I’ll be sure to check some of it out before the U.S.S. Enterprise starts exploring strange new galaxies again. Star Trek 2 opens in 3D on May 17, 2013.

“We heard back in December that casting of the film’s villain (who will likely be Khan) was imminent”
REALLY?
How many times does this have to be discredited before the ‘trekkies’ and the lame-brained journalists (not that they are journalists!) understand there is no Khan, no Q, no Harry Mudd, no Trelane (‘Q’ junior), no known villan according to the writers.
GET OVER IT!
@MatthewM
I guess most of us Trekkies don’t want Khan in the film. I bet Klingons will be the villains.
Captain Kirk must find a planet of Cockney inner-city chav’s perfect casting!!!!!!!
Why have you placed an apostrophe in the plural “chavs”?
Because i cant spell!!!! are you the phantom english teacher that goes around movie web sites correcting everybody’s spelling mistakes????
