Newly released image from Paramount Pictures for Star Trek Into Darkness reveals the identity of Benedict Cumberbatch’s villain… or does it? The image information supplied by Paramount: (Left to right) Zachary Quinto is Spock, Benedict Cumberbatch is John Harrison and Chris Pine is Kirk in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS from Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions. Allow us a moment to raise the possibility of a deliberate red herring here… From frequent past statements, Benedict Cumberbatch’s character is intended to be a character that has already appeared in Star Trek canon, and John Harrison rings zero bells… time will tell! EDIT: Thanks to surroundedbydorks in the notes for this excellent spot from MemoryAlpha - note the hair!
