"Star Trek" can be set on the right one of its most complex and tinted mistakes - and it includes the biggest bad of all, Khan. The franchisee was historically considered a cultural pioneer and trendsetter, Even if there were very well -intentioned (though no less controversial) the wrong steps on the road. From the casting of the late, Great Nickel Nichols as a Uhura during the civil rights movement, including Russian crew, such as Chekov (Walter Keonig) in the wake of the Cold War tensions to countless more parallels in the real world, the "original series" was alone. "Space Seed", the episode presented by the terrible superhuman despot Khan, It's no exception. The play of Ricardo Montalban as a tyrannical ruler of the Eugenics wars led to one of the most memorable and well -rounded villains in the "Trek" orbus ... But the casting of a Mexican as an India character was always obliged to collect a few eyebrows.

Decades after both the "Original Series" and "Extended Film" "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" turned Khan into the name of the household, however, the property is soon to re -examine the notorious figure in the best possible way. 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of the property, which means that there are already moving plans for all sorts of celebrations and special events around the world. According to one of the more intriguing, according to The deadlinecarries the form of a script podcast that debuts today (and Available to listen to the official YouTube channel "Star Trek") entitled "Star Trek: Khan". The new series focuses on the title of antagonist and his followers in the years following the events of Space Seed, bridging the decade and a half gap before his re -appearance in "Cannes' anger" in 1982. And in a really inspired slightly retold, the former "lost" Starvala Naven Andrews was thrown as Khan's voice.

Not only does the engagement of a British/Indian actor have long been late for the character (the less we say about Benedict Cumberbatch in "Star Trek in the Darkness", but also the better), but also dreams of the future of "Trek". Some trips may argue that there is no real upside down to return to Cannes well. But with Andrews now officially taking over, we are ready to start the campaign for his live casting.

Can Naven Andrews be destined to go from Hawaii's sunny beaches to the coldest achievements of space? Best known for his portrayal of Iraqi tormentor Said Ararah in "Lost" (Another complicated part of the casting that, in the vitrilic years full of racial anime after 11.09, still deserves all kinds of credit for what such a tinted and three -dimensional character), the actor now joined the Star Trek family as Khan ... in audio form, at least. What we suggest, naturally, is that he takes another big step and jumps into live action. Part of that, of course, has to do with a casting decision that is finally focused on the true ethnicity of the character. While talking to InverseAndrews explained how this is an essential part of the appeal:

"" I'm not just of Indian origin. I am actually an Indian with full -blooded. And that's part of why I thought I had to do it. "

In addition to the return of Andrews, what is even more exciting is the new spin he puts on a supervisor that many have assumed to be well acquainted. Later in the interview, he discussed what makes this version of the character different from where he ends up in "Cannes' anger" and the real -world impacts he used to bring his voice performance to life:

"He was still a Renaissance man. It seems to be right to think of him in a way that puts him in literature. He was a man with letters, I guess. For me, even more than Milton, it's Shakespeare."

Can there be a way Andrews, now 56 years, bring this to live action? "Strange New Worlds" obviously has to do with Khan through Christina Chong, Lian Nonien Singh, a direct descendant of the military leader and his Setting up as foretelling the original Star Trek series (With an open door for a sequel, he took us through the five -year mission of the company). Not to overcome, The rumors have been spinning for years during the potential reboot of the "Anger of Cannes" seriesAlthough, from yet, nothing has come true. And, if the enthusiastic response of the fan to this podcast series helps to perform the scale in favor of Andrews for some kind of live research on Khan, well, better.
