There has been a lot of uncertainty around just who exactly Benedict Cumberbatch is playing in J.J. Arbram's new Star Trek film. MTV have revealed two new set photos from the film which do nothing to answer that question either, but does show him wearing a black version of the Star Fleet uniform. The first photo shows Cumberbatch doing battle with Zachary Quinto, who is applying the Vulcan nerve pinch, as Spock aboard what is being described as a "space barge". Cumberbatch is able to get away from the Nerve Pinch which leads to the second photo of Zoe Saldana as Uhura coming in with a phaser to help.

Like previously stated these photos do nothing to give us an indication on who Cumberbatch is playing, but the fact that he is wearing a Star Fleet uniform is intriguing. Could he be a friend who has just gone rouge, or a enemy disguised as a Star Fleet officer. Sound off your thoughts in the comment boxes below.

I'd say, he pissed in Spock's Cheerios.

CUMBERBATCH!!!

MovieMann - 2/24/2012, 10:19 AM

Most anticipated of 2013!

Nemesys - 2/24/2012, 10:23 AM

It is illogical that he could get away from Spock's nerve pinch. Fascinating.

MovieMann - 2/24/2012, 10:24 AM

@Nemesys
It means he's a badass

Sanderman - 2/24/2012, 10:25 AM

im waiting to see what people do with that first pic because that looks hilarious

marantaz - 2/24/2012, 10:35 AM

He's able to get away from Quinto's nerve pinch because Quinto isn't doing it right... it looks like an SNL spoof... "Why isn't this working?!?" You'd think they would have covered that when they did the auditions...

95 - 2/24/2012, 10:44 AM

Now I'm really excited!

Durango95 - 2/24/2012, 10:47 AM

Meh,Saldana isnt that hot. Widow,however,is another subject...Would totally do her.

Wildaniel - 2/24/2012, 10:51 AM

Looks like Uhura is pointing the gun at herself, lol.

I hope Gaila comes back too, lol

Charliee13 - 2/24/2012, 10:53 AM

Was never a trek fan but absolutely loved the first film and cannot wait for the second

95 - 2/24/2012, 11:02 AM

I thought the green chick died in the first one.

Didn't she board one of the other ships that left before the Enterprise?

(Sulu couldn't start Warp Drive)

When the Enterprise arrived, there was a field of ship debris.

luffycapri - 2/24/2012, 11:05 AM

can't wait to see this movie

smithonator - 2/24/2012, 11:09 AM

I wonder if Cumberbatch's character got caught cheating in a game of 3D Chess. lol

Uhura is STILL hot!

@Nomis- Yes she is. I often forget that she played Batgirl too.

Panthro0 - 2/24/2012, 11:11 AM

Rachel Nichols...arrrr

Panthro0 - 2/24/2012, 11:12 AM

first comment...after following you guys for about 1yr and a half...
How'd I do?

headlopper - 2/24/2012, 11:13 AM

Looks dynamic!
It won't disappoint!
BTW, does anybody know how to 'Vulcan nerve pinch'? I promise not to tell anyone else!

Stinkor1 - 2/24/2012, 11:15 AM

I nearly plotzed when I realized the green broad also was Scarlett in Rise of Cobra

Sanderman - 2/24/2012, 11:16 AM

well done panthro0

marvel72 - 2/24/2012, 11:17 AM

can't wait i'm pretty pumped for this film.

AlexDeLarge87 - 2/24/2012, 11:19 AM

Looks awesome!:)

Cumberbatch could be a new villain.

It would be awesome to see him as Khan thou. Wasnt he somekind of Superman? That would explain how he can get off that nerve pinch i think.
Gary Mitchell would be great also. In matter of fact i would rather see him as Mitchell than Khan.

cartoonpersona - 2/24/2012, 11:23 AM

awesome cant wait loved the first one more than i thought i would, im not really a big trekkie, cumberbatch is amazing in Sherlock and i cant wait to see him in star trek and the hobbit

theblackmamba - 2/24/2012, 11:50 AM

WIN!!!

TheCapelessCrusader - 2/24/2012, 11:52 AM

Starfleet uniform + first cruise of the Enterprise + can't-be-brought-down-by-nerve-pinch = Gary Mitchell.

TruFaith - 2/24/2012, 12:04 PM

One thing that I hate about this site is that instead of discussing good SciFi elements and why Quinto and Cumberpatch rock peoples minds are so sick that all they can think about is sex and pornographic images. That's a real shame. God helps us.

cazziejetson - 2/24/2012, 12:11 PM

Obviously Gary Mitchell; they've already said it wont be Khan.
