Star Trek Into Darkness has debuted a new poster.

Benedict Cumberbatch's villain John Harrison is front and centre of the latest artwork, walking away from the burning ruins of a futuristic London masterminding a terrorist attack.

The poster - which can be enlarged on the right-hand side - also carries the ominous tagline "Earth will fall".

Harrison, described as a "one-man weapon of mass destruction", is pitted against Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and the crew of the Enterprise as he wages war against Starfleet.

Cumberbatch recently revealed that he consumed 4,000 calories a day in order to physically transform himself for JJ Abrams's blockbuster sequel.

"He's someone who can plant an idea that's as vicious as a bomb and explode loyalties and expose relationships and try and turn people against one another to do his bidding," he explained of his character.

Star Trek Into Darkness will open in UK cinemas on May 8 and May 17 in the US.
