WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD
You have been warned.
Recently, the first 30-minutes of STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS was screened for members of the press in London. Additionally, 38-minutes of the film was screened in Sau Paulo, Brazil.
Those screenings have revealed the identity of Peter Weller’s character in the highly-anticipated film — which hits theaters in May.
While many speculated that he played Khan Noonien Singh, that rumor was proven to be false.
According to a report on Ain’t It Cool News (based on a report on Juado), Weller plays Admiral Marcus, the father of Alice Eve’s Carol Marcus.
STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Weller, Bruce Greenwood and Alice Eve, hits theaters in IMAX, 3D, and 2D in May.
