First Look at Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek 2


In this first look at director J.J. Abrams' currently shooting "Star Trek" sequel, we see quite clearly that Zachary Quinto's returning Spock and the newcomer played by Cumberbatch are very much not friends. The two are locked in battle on top of what's being described as "a Space Barge set."

During the battle and in the photo you can see here, Spock does his best to stop his foe using his famous Vulcan Death Grip, but the move fails; Cumberbatch's character is able to overpower the grip and regain the upper hand in his struggle against the Star Fleet officer.

Interestingly, Spock is not the only one wearing a Star Fleet uniform. Cumberbatch's unknown character is seen wearing a black version of the uniform under his silver overcoat. A sign that this man was a friend before he was a foe?


In another shot from the epic battle, Zoe Saldana joins the fight once again as Uhura. She's using a phaser to save Spock from Cumberbatch's villain, though whether or not she'll be successful is a completely different story altogether.

What does everyone think? I'm so glad they haven't made him look too alien

Fuck the people bashing his looks. Different stroke for different folks people. Benedict is attractive to those who find him attractive. Ain't nothing you say is going to change that.

I don't find Brad Pitt sexy but I don't hate on people who do.

Live and let live

Peace out!

You know you're on ONTD right? Telling people to ignore what they don't like is to tell them to start breathing with only one lung.

SHITE! You might be right! More tears for Ben.

Although, I'm sure we're not really supposed to feel bad when the villain dies in this movie. But I'll be sitting there crying my eyes out lol

There is something about Cumberbitch's face that I can't stand. I'm not sure what it is, but when I see him I irrationally want to punch him in the face.
