‘Star Trek 2’ will feature a Klingon, photo leaked at MTV Awards
While the sequel to 2009’s “Star Trek” reboot has wrapped, director J.J. Abrams has kept most of the details secret. Even Benedict Cumberbatch’s role as a villain has been shrouded in secrecy with the cast only denying rumors he plays Khan.
At Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards, Abrams participated in a skit, but managed to unleash a fan frenzy of rumors and speculation thanks to a photo in the background.
Hit Fix reported on Monday that the image was indeed a Klingon, the image was from the “Star Trek 2” project (the film remains unnamed) and that the inclusion of the image during the MTV bit was indeed intentional.
A “Star Trek” fan site, Trekmovie.com, countered with proof (and theories) that the image is nothing more than a screenshot from a “Star Trek” deleted scene from the Blu-ray disc. Trekmovie admits they have sources who confirm Klingons in the new film.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Peter Weller and Bruce Greenwood all return to the U.S.S. Enterprise, reprising their respective Federation characters. Peter Weller, Eve and Cumberbatch join the cast for the second film.
“Trek 2” officially comes to theaters on May 17, 2013.
