Star Trek Into Darkness, the the sequel to J.J. Abrams’ 2009 revamp of Star Trek, is coming next Spring, and today the first poster was released!

The poster seems to be pretty dark, which you can see below!

A brief synopsis was released last week, which you can also read here:

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes “Star Trek Into Darkness.”

When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction.

As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

The trailer for Abrams’ sequel is premiering before The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey when it hits theaters on December 14, so we’ll be able to learn more about the movie then!

Starring Chris Pine, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Benedict Cumberbatch, Alice Eve and Peter Weller, Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters on May 17, 2013.
