‘Star Trek: Into Darkness’ teaser trailer released: Benedict Cumberbatch's villain shows Khan-do attitude
Benedict Cumberbatch channels his inner Khan in 'Star Trek Into Darkness.' Whether or not he plays the iconic sci-fi villain in the upcoming movie, however, is anyone's guess.
Set first impressions on stunned.
The first teaser trailer for "Star Trek: Into Darkness" was released and features snippets of more action scenes flashing by than in the franchise's first ten movies before J.J. Abrams took over command of the Enterprise.
Abrams' follow-up to 2009's "Star Trek" reboot features "Sherlock's" Benedict Cumberbatch as a villain that may or may not be the wrathful Khan made famous in the original "Star Trek" series by Ricardo Montalban. (Trekkers and Trekkies, argue amongst yourselves.)
Whoever the British actor plays, he's pretty badass. The yet-to-be-revealed villain is billed as "an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis" in the film's synopsis.
"You think your world is safe. It is an illusion," says Cumberbatch's baddie in a spine-tingling voiceover. "A comforting lie told to protect you."Enjoy these final moments of peace for I have returned to have my vengeance.”

The new 3-D "Star Trek" sequel will beam into theaters on May 17 with Chris Pine (Captain Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Karl Urban (Dr. McCoy), John Cho (Sulu) and Simon Pegg (Scotty) returning to their posts.
Even more intriguing is the last shot in the Japanese international trailer for the film, which features 12 seconds of additional footage that shows ... two hands on opposite sides of a glass divider - an obvious reference to the scene in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn” in which Spock dies to save the lives of the rest of the crew, leading to much speculation about whether history will repeat itself in “Into Darkness.”
Fans who couldn't get enough will be able to sift through nine minutes of footage of the film before "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" in select IMAX theaters.
