Quote:

Abrams himself admitted early in the film's development that he was thinking seriously about adding to the mix Khan Noonien Singh – aka the guy who royally ticks off Captain Kirk in the 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." In it, Khan is played by a Latin actor – the late Ricardo Montalbán – also known for his leading role in the long-running '70s and '80s television show "Fantasy Island." (Fun fact: Montalbán first played Khan in a 1967 television episode of "Star Trek" called "Space Seed.")

Abrams considered Édgar Ramirez ("Zero Dark Thirty," "The Bourne Ultimatum"), Jordi Mollà ("Blow," "Colombiana"), and several others. "We were looking for the right actor. We met a lot of people," Abrams told Yahoo! Movies during a recent interview.
