When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find 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.
With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
Chris Pine will reprise the starring role as Captain Kirk, with Zachary Quinto and Simon Pegg returning as Spock and Scotty. Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch will also be starring in the film as the as-yet unnamed villain, although there's speculation he may be playing Gary Mitchell - a human who developed advanced psionic abilities and became a threat to the Enterprise in Star Trek: Where No Man Has Gone Before. Whatever the role, I have absolutely no doubt that Cumberbatch will provide an utterly superb and sublime villain for this much anticipated film.
The poster, which was released today, depicts a man - presumably Cumberbatch - standing amidst a mass of debris overlooking what looks like 23rd Century London.
Star Trek Into Darkness is scheduled for release in cinemas worldwide on May 17, 2013 - and I can't bloody wait!
