Trek 2: Cumberbatch Coy About His Role; Starts Work Soon

While attending Sunday's Golden Globe ceremony Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch talked with MTV about being cast in the the long-awaited still as yet Untitled Star Trek Sequel.

Sadly the actor did not say anything specific about his role...Even when the interviewer said "we know it is the villain," Cumberbatch replied "I don’t think we do know that, I think that is just supposition" adding that he "wouldn’t have a job in this town" if he said anything about who he was playing in the film

Cumberbatch did say that he will start his work next week and he has been "working out non-stop" in preparation for the film.

He added "it has been great fun to prep" and he has been working to "get up to speed with true Trekkies."

Watch the video below:


Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin John Cho and Bruce Greenwood have all returned to the Final Frontier in their respective roles as Kirk Spock Uhura Dr. McCoy Scotty  Chekov Sulu and Admiral Pike.

The Supporting Cast Also Includes Nazneen Contractor who will play the wife of Noel Clarke’s family man character--while Alice Eve has a major role as does former "Robocop" star Peter Weller and actor/stuntman Joseph Gatt.

Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof wrote the script for director J.J. Abrams.

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

The film will be released May 17, 2013 in 3D.
