Star Trek Into Darkness: Benedict Cumberbatch and Alice Eve Roles Revealed

Paramount Pictures has announced that Benedict Cumberbatch’s mysterious character in Star Trek Into Darkness is John Harrison.

To quote our source, Ain’t It Cool News:

In “Space Seed,” Harrison was nearly suffocated to death on the Enterprise bridge by unfrozen superman Khan Noonien Singh.

This reminds me of when we learned via press release that Marion Cotillard would be playing Miranda Tate in “The Dark Knight Rises.”

It makes me think maybe one of Khan’s genetic supermen (perhaps even Khan Noonien Singh Jr.) assumed Harrison’s identity to infiltrate and cripple Starfleet.

Ain’t It Cool has also learned that Alice Eve (best known for She’s Out of My League) has been cast as scientist Carol Marcus, a Captain Kirk love interest first introduced by Bibi Besch in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Express Yourself Like Kirk

Any Trekkie would love to be Captain Kirk, at least for a bit.  Whether it’s when you’re in complete rage and you feel the need to yell from the utmost bottom of your gut the name Khan or in subtle annoyance of the multitude of tribbles that have invaded your closet, you know you want to express yourself with confident attitude the way James Tiberius Kirk does.  Why not?  I mean, c’mon, who wouldn’t want to, right?  So, here’s a little visual guide to help you.  Please practice carefully and make sure you’re using the right amount of hair product when expressing yourself as Kirk does, or it could just look plain silly.
