Benedict Cumberbatch is known for a many great deal of things, and setting the bar high is just one of them. And that’s exactly what he did in “Star Trek Into Darkness” with his role of Khan.

This means that main antagonist of the third “Star Trek” installment ought to be very good.

With Bryan Cranston as one possible bad guy for the next movie, we now get yet another competitor for the part – Idris Elba.

As Variety reports, Idris Elba is currently one of the main candidates Paramount is currently looking at for the part of the main villain in “Star Trek 3,” while some rumors even suggest that the actor is already in talks about the role.

The “Pacific Rim” star is by all means a great actor, but how can he actually fit into the “Star Trek” universe? We believe that Klingons will play a major role this time, which means Elba might get to play one of Warf’s relatives or something like that.

Whatever the case may be, we’re looking forward to seeing Idris Elba in the role of Heimdal in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, such as “Avengers: Age of Ultron” and “Thor: Ragnarok,” and also as the bad guy in the 2016 “Star Trek 3.”
