"Two new images of Benedict Cumberbatch in Star Trek Into Darkness have been released.  Cumberbatch&amp;#039;s mysterious villain John Harrison is a home-grown terrorist from within Starfleet, whose mission sees him wreak widespread destruction on Earth.  Cumberbatch recently explained that Harrison&amp;#039;s menace comes not only from his physical strength, but from his ability to manipulate the Enterprise crew and undermine their loyalty to one another.  The sequel&amp;#039;s co-writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have described Harrison as &amp;quot;a dark shadow&amp;quot; of the Enterprise crew members, while Cumberbatch suggested that the character was designed to mirror Kirk (Chris Pine).  Comparing Harrison to Eric Bana&amp;#039;s Star Trek villain Nero, director JJ Abrams mused: &amp;quot;The beauty of Benedict&amp;#039;s [John Harrison] is that he&amp;#039;s completely rational. He&amp;#039;s someone that you can have conversations with. You couldn&amp;#039;t sit down and talk to Nero - he&amp;#039;d bite your head off!&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Star Trek Into Darkness&amp;#039;: 10 teasers for JJ Abrams&amp;#039; sequel - spoilers &amp;gt; Benedict Cumberbatch: &amp;#039;I ate 4000 calories a day for Star Trek diet&amp;#039; Star Trek Into Darkness is released on May 9 in the UK, and May 17 in the US.
