Free ice cream kicks off Star Trek's "Sweet Summer of Revenge," celebrating 40 years of The Wrath of Khan

What better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN than by eating some revenge-themed ice cream

JUNE 7, 2022 - Forty years and a couple of days ago, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan hit theaters, bringing audiences a dramatic conclusion to the story of Khan Noonien-Singh. Now, Paramount’s Star Trek Franchise Group has teamed up with several brands including Funko, CoolHaus, and Fathom Events in a series of Khan-focused events dubbed the “The Wrath of P’Khan: Sweet Summer of Revenge” (pronounced “pecan”, we presume).

The excitement began June 4th - the anniversary of the film’s 1982 release - with a curated list of “revenge themed” Star Trek episodes and films, available to stream on Paramount+. With that, the fun is just beginning. The events are ongoing, so there’s still plenty of time to get in on the action as the summer heats up.

If you’re looking to celebrate The Wrath of Khan - and you happen to like ice cream - you’re in luck! Los Angeles based ice cream company Coolhaus is making stops on the east and west coasts of the U.S. this summer in a one-of-a-kind “Wrath of P’Khan” ice cream truck, inspired by the film. June 4th saw this uniquely designed (and frankly, beautiful) ice cream truck parked at the corner of Greene St. and Prince St. in New York City. The kicker? They were handing out free ice cream sandwiches to Star Trek fans and, likely, any eager passers-by. July 17th, you can find the truck in Los Angeles near the Santa Monica Pier, at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and 2nd St.

There’s one more stop along the route for the “Wrath of P’Khan” ice cream truck. Coolhaus and their awesome truck will be present alongside Paramount+ at San Diego Comic Con, scheduled July 21 - 24.

Toymaker Funko has also joined forces with Paramount+ to celebrate the film, allowing fans to decide which version of Khan Noonien-Singh will be the next vinyl figure to debut. Fans were given a choice between “Battle Ready Khan” and “Post-Battle Khan”. The official Star Trek Twitter page shared the results of the contest June 5th; the results showed “Battle Ready Khan” as the clear winner, with 59% of the vote. The vinyl figure is now available for preorder. Presale is dependent on your location and takes place exclusively at the following locations: in the U.S. at shop.startrek.com/, in the UK at startrekshop.co.uk, in Canada at startrekshop.ca, and in the E.U. at startrekshop.eu.

To put a bow on the “Sweet Summer of Revenge”, Paramount Home Entertainment has partnered with Fathom Events to show Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan at more than 2,500 screenings across the country on September 4th, 5th, and 8th.
