Benedict Cumberbatch concerns Kirk and Spock in new 'Star Trek Into Darkness' images Just what is the new villain planning for the Enterprise crew? BY DAVE LEWIS WEDNESDAY, MAR 20, 2013 1:15 PM (HIT FIX)

We still don't know just who exactly Benedict Cumberbatch is playing in J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Trek Into Darkness," but according to these two new images, Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) are worried about his villainous persona. The Enterprise officers also look as if they've taken a fashion cue from Cumberbatch's character, as Kirk and Spock seem to be taking the film's title seriously by donning black Starfleet uniforms.

Benedict Cumberbatch is mesmerising in Star Trek Into Darkness preview (RADIO TIMES)

The Sherlock star takes the movie to another level, says Paul Jones, following a screening of new material from the sci-fi blockbuster

RadioTimes.com was among those treated to a screening of unseen footage from the upcoming Star Trek sequel at the London IMAX in Waterloo today – the first 28 delicious minutes of sci-fi blockbusting goodness, plus two further scenes from later on in the movie.

It's good news, people.

True, I can't make any judgement on bigger picture stuff, like how the wider plot hangs together or about the emotional heart of the movie, but on the sci-fi-action-drama axis, it delivers. Like a postman on steroids. Or something...

The action sequences we saw are spectacular and gripping, there's plenty of humour and some great performances (with honourable mention going to Zachary Quinto as Spock – and not to Simon Pegg's grating parody of chief engineer Scotty).

But the one thing that really stood out based on what we saw today was Benedict Cumberbatch as villain John Harrison (yes, as far as we know that's still his name).

We didn't see huge amounts of him but when Cumberbatch is on screen the movie hits another level. He is, instantly, utterly mesmerising (even before he appears that voice alone does the job). He brings an intensity to every scene, even the briefest appearances, and carries it through into the more physical set-pieces, particularly a chase and fight with Quinto.

Mark Julian - 3/7/2013

"I did a lot of close combat training. He's a kick-ass warrior, as masterful with his hands and body as he is with weapons...You will have a great discovery during this film, which I think is great...[My costumes] look great. Some of them were (no pun intended) cumbersome and heavy, but some were very snug; you can almost see what religion I am..." On May 17th, all will be revealed and fans will once and for all find out who Cumberbatch is really playing. Until such time we'll have to make do with the numerous fan theories and suggestions floating across the interweb.
