The first trailer for next year’s decolonized preboot-sequel Star Trek Into Darkness focused mainly on Benedict Cumberbatch, who is playing John Harrison or Khan or Gary Mitchell or Charlie Evans or Sherlock Holmes or whatever. A new teaser, however, puts the focus on Captain Kirk. In voiceover narration, Captain Pike chastises Kirk: “There’s greatness in you, but there’s not an ounce of humility…you’re gonna get yourself and everyone under your command killed.” Various shots of the Enterprise crew follow, along with one shot that looks like a direct reference to an extremely memorable scene from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Also, various people jump from various high places. Watch the teaser below:
