Set a course for the Tread Lightly system. Rumor has it that Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston is being eyed for the villain role in Star Trek 3.

True, but the rest of the cast in Godzilla were pretty crap anyway, as was the movie.
The cast in Star Trek did well up against the awesome Cumberbatch.

Yeah Cumberbatch did a great job on Khan but even he doesn't bring the intensity of Hiesenburg.
