Star Trek: Star Trek XII character hint and also Kahn out as the villain.

The rumor mill is going full steam as the word is that Khan will not be the villain in 2012′s Star Trek XII.Rumor has it that Star Trek XII won’t be focused on a “traditional” villain at all, but will focus on someone familiar to fans nonetheless.

Star Trek fans are also abuzz with speculation after the revelation of the race of a potential female character that may appear in Star Trek XII. Last month, a meeting to plot out Star Trek XII included J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Burk and out of that meeting came a hint as to one of the characters to appear in the film.

Orci showed an iPad slide show, which included stills from Star Trek XI, snapshots of potential locations to use in Star Trek XII and the item that has started the online speculation, a photo of a suggested actress. On the photo of the suggested actress, Orci had used his iPad to draw a Vulcan ear on the woman. Now fandom is curious, could this be a known Vulcan character, such as T’Pring, Saavik or even T’Pau? Or could it be someone brand-new to the Trek world? Trektoday.com.
