Next, we have a clip/promo where Harrison deconstructs Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and threatens - or, rather, promises menacingly - to exploit her personal weaknesses for his gain, like he did for Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) during the previously-released character featurettes. However, it's within there that we get our first glimpse at the Klingons in the rebooted Star Trek continuity (without their armor and helmets on, that is).

Have a look at the clip below, followed by a screenshot of the Klingon (hat tip to Screen Crush):

A Klingon in 'Star Trek Into Darkness'

It seems the famous Star Trek aliens have been altered to more closely resemble the Klingons featured in Star Trek: The Motion Picture; though, the general skin texture and multiple earrings are a newfound touch. Abrams has described their role in the story as "definitely adversarial," but the indication seems to be the race has been wronged by the Federation and that is why they form an alliance (?) with Harrison against Starfleet (or, at least, are sympathetic to his cause).

Case in point: watch this recently-unveiled clip - where an enraged Kirk confronts his stoic prisoner (Harrison) - and decide if you think that the coordinates that are recited by Cumberbatch will take the Enterprise to a location where some hidden atrocity was committed by the Federation against the Klingons or another non-human race (and for those reading this who already know the answer - no spoilers, please).

This scene is a nice illustration of Cumberbatch's serpentine approach to playing Harrison, who represents the kind of authoritarian, disciplined and principled leader that Kirk must evolve into over the course of the film; possibly, setting the stage for quite the emotional finale that could rival that of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (if everything goes to plan, that is).

However, before that happens, our favorite Captain and his trusted Enterprise crew will find themselves overwhelmed by Harrison and the firepower at his disposal - as reflected in the official IMAX poster (not the artwork by Mark Englert), with the U.S.S. Enterprise being pursed by the massive U.S.S. Vengeance (yep, that's what it's called).

Have a look at that one-sheet below:
