There?s a press event for Star Trek Into Darkness going down this evening, and tweets from reporters in attendance have answered one major question about the Trek sequel. Alice Eve, pictured above, is apparently playing

Carol Marcus, the woman who was the mother of Kirk?s son, David, in the earlier Trek films

. What does this mean for Into Darkness, and with regards to Cumberbatch?s role?

Before Khan comes back, I should say it is thought that the young blonde lab tech Mitchell introduces Kirk to in "WNMHGB", is

Carol Marcus

. Maybe JJ might be setting something up here for the third film.

I don't see the woman being Carol Marcus. If I recall, Kirk decided to go "back" to Starfleet rather than carry on the relationship. I think that rules out Carol Marcus even BEING in Starfleet.

As for the screenshot, it's interesting that Cumberpatch is wearing a shirt with the Starfeel insignia. I guess they did say a threat from within Starfleet. Wouldn't it be cool if it was the species that took over people's bodies in TNG?

Except that it is now confirmed to be her. Check trekmovie.com for more info.

There is no canon timeline for the alternate universe, they can put characters in whatever situation they want to now.

According to that site Cumberbatch will be called Harrison in the movie so that puts Gary Mitchell out the window I suppose

Wow it is confirmed to be Carol Marcus? I know the timeline is different but I didn't think they would change it that much. In ST 2, it was implied that the two were together when Kirk had left Starfleet and he left her to return. If it indeed is her in this movie, I wonder if SHE leaves to be a private scientist to invent the Genesis Device.

Sorry to spoil all the speculation guys but have you seen Benedict Cumberbatch's ear closely?

This dude is a Vulcan. This ain't no Gary Mitchel or anything close to it. This character is Vulcan, which probably explains why he and Spock are touching on the glass and if you see closely to that scene, Spock is touching the glass with the Vulcan salute. This dude is related to Spock some how. The ear is there to prove he is not human.

Perhaps you're over estimating Cumberbatch's ear?

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
