"STAR TREK Into Darkness" - 2013

[wraith1701]

You know, the more I think about it, the more likely Trelane seems.  I'm thinking it's a 50/50 shot at the villain being either Mitchell or Trelane.

It would be totally mind-blowing if it turns out to be a slimmer, trimmer Mudd though.  :)

Trelane would be cool but the brief synopsis and teaser poster seem to indicate the villian is from Earth, or at least on Earth. Trelane wasn't even human, he was almost Q!

[wraith1701]

Yep.  That's one of the reasons I was initially 100% certain it's Mitchell.  That, and the fact that this looks like it's going to be a dark film.  Despite the threat posed by his powers, Trelane always struck me as more comical than threatening, at least compared to Mitchell.  Since this new universe is breaking new ground, I figured I'd just leave the door open to JJ taking the story in a new direction. 

And now, I'm waffling.  I think 85% chance Mitchell, 15% chance Trelane.

I am thrown up between Kahn and Mitchell - but leaning to Mitchell.  After all, The Botany Bay would already be underway and in space - since that voyage left earth well before the time-line split in the new movie.  I suppose that the sleeper ship could be discovered 'earlier' in Kirk's career.  The poster hints at one man devastation to me - which spells Mitchell.  But the proof will be in the pudding..

If they were going to reboot a villain, I thought a while ago that they could have done Sybok Oman interesting way with the destruction of Vulcan maybe making him go nutso. I am intrigued by thoughts of Garth of Izar but I think it's Mitchell.

Hey, did anyone else think about Charlie Evans getting rescued earlier?  I guess Cumberbatch is too mature to be him.

Good one!

[ChrisMC]

Yeah, that could have been cool but he'd be like 8.

Just saw the trailer. Still not sure:
[spoiler]That bit about 'I have returned for vengeance' what do you think?  Khan?  Harcourt Fenton Mudd?  ;) [/spoiler]

STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS - Official Teaser Trailer (2013) [HD]

Whoever it is, he's got crazy powers. Leaping around like that!

Star Trek Into Darkness - Extra Footage Japanese Teaser (HD)

The Japanese trailer has an interesting, different ending...check out the hands on the glass...

And whoever Cumberbatch is, he has a starship...check him in the command chair.

Alice Eve's character is in Starfleet...I think Rico is right about Dehner!

"I have returned..."

That makes me think Khan, maybe she's playing McGivers? But that haircut is perfect for Dehner.

[Bryancd]

Wow! Very exciting, intriguing. I kind of dig the Enterpirse as a U-boat! Nice little throw back in that Japanese trailer with the two hands touching between glass. Obviously harkining back to TWOK. The agree the I have returned makes it sound like Khan and the obvious amazing physical abilities. And he has a ship as Joe pointed oout, also very Khan. I think that might be it!

Oh joy! Two more hours of camera flare photography! Didn't he learn anything from fan comments? This looks like Star Trek is more in the realm of comic book superheroes and villains than science fiction anymore. I can't say the trailer thrills me in the least bit. A Batman/Star Trek crossover would thrill me more. Oh well it is what it is and I'm sure it will be a fun special effects ride but it won't be the Star Trek I know and love. But having said that I also was cautious about the first film and I enjoyed it but upon subsequent viewings I don't think it holds up well as a Star Trek film. I place it near the bottom of my list of favorite Trek films now that I have watched it at least five times.

Couldn't Alice Eve be Carol Marcus? With that "music" or whatever you call it in the trailer it feels just like The Dark Knight and Inception. I wish everyone would jump off that bandwagon.
