"Star Trek Into Darkness" Spumors: Alice Eve's Character Revealed?
Coming Soon contributor Silas Lesnick appears to have been to some kind of Star Trek Into Darkness press event earlier today. Rather than saving up all of the juice for a full report after the session was wrapped, Lesnick was tweeting as he went along.
Alice Eve’s Star Trek Into Darkness character revealed… She’s playing Carol Marcus!
And here’s Marcus’ entry in the StarTrek.com database:
Molecular biologist made famous in 2285 by her planet development process, Project Genesis. In the 2260′s a relationship with James T. Kirk produced her son, David.
This casting would seem to mean there’s a pretty good chance of Eve sticking around for subsequent sequels though, of course, we’re in a new timeline now. Maybe there’s going to be no relationship with Kirk, or at least no David.
What a poignant flutter of the butterfly’s wings that digression could be.
There are already complaints in social media that revealing this information is some kind of spoiler. I don’t think, however, that Marcus’ identity is going to be a mystery in the film, or even in subsequent trailers.
And then, at the same time, there are even folk expressing disbelief, thinking that this must be some kind of misdirect by the moustache-fiddling master of illusion himself, JJ Abrams. Also poppycock.
She’s Carol Marcus. False, non-mystery dispersed. Next!

So cringing

So we have Carol Marcus and Cucumberstache as supposedly a new character? I kind of hope the man is Sybok because of reasons; the whole so little vulcans left thing works in perfectly. If Elder!Spock made it into the past why the hell not Elder!Sybok.
It is a distorted and alternate timeline universe.... but what I want to know did Kodos and Tarsus IV occur in this timeline in Kirk's path because that could have been a good storyline to play with
Kirk/Spock shippers must be going batshit.
STILL, GIVE ME CHRISTINE CHAPEL YOU BASTARDS.
It's hard to not ship Kirk/McCoy from the last movie. ♥

Further suggesting Cumberbatch is fucking Khan.
