The trekker in me instantly thought either Nurse Chapel--first played by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry in the original "Star Trek" series or Dr. Carol Marcus seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan played by Bibi Besch but then indications are that role is a new one for the franchise.
Eve beat out Teresa Palmer (I Am Number Four) and Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) for the role. And her deal is expected to be locked down soon. She joins Benicio del Toro, who also has a deal that pending to play the role of the villain in the sequel.
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin and John Cho are all returning to the Final Frontier in their respective roles

The sequel will be produced by Abrams, Kurtzman, Orci, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, and David Ellison.
