The Klingon undercover team didn't really figure out a good way to fit in.It's been going around for a while the Paramount wants at least 2 big ticket actors to appear in the new Star Trek movie that's going to revolutionize the franchise. The first one that was circling around the last few days was Tom Cruise. Sort of out of left field but he was in Mission Impossible III for J.J. Abrams who apparently really likes the guy. So that fits when you add that info, also his role is rumored to just be a cameo as Captain Pike, the captain of the USS Enterprise before James T. Kirk.
This rumor though completely blows that one out of the water. Apparently at the top of their list of actors to play the villain is none other than Maximus "Hando" Braddock himself: Russell Crowe. Crowe is one of the top actors working today pretty much behind only Christian Bale in my mind. And as was previously mentioned they're starring together in the boner inducing western 3:10 to Yuma that is going to pit them against each other. But on topic, my question if this is true (Oh please let it be true!!) what would Crowe be playing. The obvious choice would seem to be a Klingon. Crowe is a large boisterous man who doesn't shy away from physicality and raising his voice a bit which is what the Klingons are all about. Romulan wouldn't really make sense, mostly cause they aren't a big concern for the Federation at that point in time and they're a much more subdued race as it is. He could possibly be a human adversary ala Kahn, an augment left over from the Eugenics Wars or even maybe a new or lesser known species but that seems highly unlikely. It may be a reboot but they can't just restart everything, a familiar enemy would have to be in the movie and no the Gorn would not work. Either way, I hope Crowe find himself getting into a tussle when he's suddenly taken out by a hip check to the knees courtesy of Dr. Ulf "Bones McCoy" Samuelsson.
