I just hope that they have a good science fiction story to tell with this one. I have zero interest in another "Wrath of Khan" villain of the week style film. I'm not against those types of films happening, I really liked Star Trek 2009, but now we've had 4 in a row (including Nemesis) and a 5th isn't something I'd be particularly interested in. Nothing against people who liked those films, but I didn't find Into Darkness or Beyond to be particularly interesting because they felt like more of the same.
I'm also not against having a big villain either if they put them behind an interesting story like The Undiscovered Country.
What I'd really love to see, though, is a City from the Edge of Forever remake. It's a great classic Star Trek story that deserves an update, and can probably be reworked into something grittier and more fresh feeling than the 1960s version. It asks a question that's no less uncomfortable today than it was in the 60s. I'd love to see how a modern filmmaker would tackle it - just as long as they're allowed creative freedom to explore something that might agitate the public rather than something that just appeals to the lowest common denominator. I'd love a quality modern film that got people up in arms saying "this is too political for Star Trek" and "Star Trek isn't meant to have _____!" while making a a genuinely compelling film and asking the sorts of questions classic Kirk-era Star Trek asked.
