New pictures of Star Trek Into Darkness have been released.

The film is due to be released in the spring, and introduces Benedict Cumberbatch to the series as a new villain named John Harrison.
The sci-fi follow-up has now released a number of new stills, depicting Cumberbatch, Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Simon Pegg as Scotty.

Writer-director JJ Abrams recently hinted that despite the darker and more serious nature of the Into Darkness trailer, the new Trek will still offer a happy ending.

Abrams said: "I don't like going to the movies to feel bad. I don't like going to the movies to feel depressed and feel diminished. The reason you go to the movies is to feel bigger and stronger and happier. So this is a movie that they certainly go 'into darkness', but I would be the wrong director if it was about characters staying there.

"This is very much a movie about hope, about love, about romance, and about facing something that is truly terrifying and finding a way through the connection of your family and surviving and being stronger afterwards."

The Lost creator recently screened an early cut of the film to a terminally ill Star Trek fan in a private screening.
