UPDATED: Here's a new poster which readers discovered via hidden link in the clip:
It has this in it. Do they have your attention yet?
Honestly, if you want to stay relatively spoiler-free, you might want to avoid this one. I'll refrain from describing some of the new things in it, because I suspect some of them were meant to be surprises originally. [NOTE: comments on this post should be considered a free-for-all to discuss anything in this particular footage]
No, no name is given for Cumberbatch's character. But there's enough information there to make me think it's VERY unlikely he's found frozen on the good ship Botany Bay.
Watch it after the jump if you dare...

Can we get through a couple of movies without resorting to crashing the damn Enterprise please?

@brendan_j_smith I know, imagine if the Millennium Falcon blew up in every second Star Wars movie.

Lt. Marla McGivers was the one that fell for Kahn and in the original series she wore a support red uniform. This trailer gives me a definite Gary Mitchell/Dr. Elizabeth Dehner feel. The actress even resembles the original Dr. Dehner. http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Dehner

@funkyfresh Yeh, dude. It's totally Kahn. The Eugenics were superior genetically altered people, right? And he was with one of the Enterprise's medical staff-The blonde?

Cumberbatch wears a black starfleet uniform. The trailer uses the word "agent" apparently referring to him.
...is he Section 31? Did that even exist in the 23rd century? Am I way off base?
@kaelipants I believe the agent they're referring to at that point is Noel Clark's character (he uses his ring as a bomb in the movie according to the Brazil 'leak').

@kaelipants I think the black uniform is actually an under shirt. For example in the first movie, Kirk spends a majority in that same black uniform.

@whoiseyevan No I think they are on the schedule to die actually because in back is the old gang so these guys were probably escorting the prisoner to or from something.

My facebook feed is blowing up with comments objecting to there being guns on a Star Trek poster. I assume because Gene Roddenberry would object.

@LYT I was noticing that they look like guns, and not like phasers. I liked that.
Oops. Uhura's looks like a phaser. Could be a tricorder.
@DrAbraxas @LYT He didn't object as much as felt it would be too much for the audience. I guess this is a form of objection, but still...
@DrAbraxas @LYT For real? I thought he was still around when they did that ham-handed episode where Riker fell in love with an alien on a planet where hetero-sex was demonized.
@DrAbraxas @LYT he was only barely involved in TNG due to declining health. Most of the basis for the series was a rework of his "Phase Two" series, and while he did have the power to approve or disapprove scripts it seems pretty clear that they played a great deal of bait and switch to get things like that episode and the Borg approved. Roddenberry is often quoted as having said something to the effect that by the twenty third century they'd have "fixed" homosexuality. No idea if it's true but it fits the profile of "soft prejudice" that tended to show up in his work.

I'm not seeing it... But is this the reveal that Cumberlatch is not portraying Khan, but Harry Mudd? And has this sad, sad joke been made before?

@RX-178 Some one on our site still believes that it is Harry Mudd but I can't remember who.

@ToplessRobot I love how they are doing the Mass Effect movie! Hopefully they'll make a sequel to Star Trek soon.

@Someguy maybe the debris knocked him in the head and that this is the cartoon reaction.
Geordi would have managed to somehow strike out with Alice Eve dressed like that in his quarters.
Sounds to me like we created Kahn to be a secret ageant and he found all our weaknesses and decided to take over things, much like he was supposed to in the war in the original universe's past. good Show

If Alice Eve spent the whole movie dressed like that..........then I'd watch.........otherwise, it's just another fan-fic masturbation exercise like the 1st one was..........PASS

@arivalscientist how ironic, seeing as the one thing that would make you want to watch this movie will likely result in all kinds of "fan-fic masturbation exercises" *runs away*

They crashed the Enterprise? I didn't know that Counselor Troi was in the new movie. LOL.

My only disappointment with this movie will be that Cumberbatch doesn't get to win, and probably dies at the end. I cannot wait.

Two things:
1.) Benedict Cumberbatch is awesome
2.) After seeing this trailer, I now have tons of faith in JJ's version of Star Wars

@johnmwoody Also did you notice the nod to Star Wars with the shuttle squeezing through tight spaces to escape explosion?

Also, it seems pretty obvious based on the trailer that Alice Eve's (the lady in lingerie) character turns on the crew of the Enterprise and joins forces with Benedict's character. That look she gives him in one scene definitely screams, "i'm buying what you are selling."
