Benedict Cumberbatch certainly looks the part in his costume for the new movie Star Trek: Into Darkness, in which he plays terrorist John Harrison.

In the first look at the former Sherlock star in the movie, Cumberbatch looks menacing with dark eyes and shadows cast across his face as he appears on the cover of Empire magazine.

Speaking about his character to Gya O! recently, he said: 'He's someone who has enormous physical strength. He's someone who is incredibly dangerous, both as a physical entity and through the use of various technologies and weapons and who performs acts of what I would describe as terrorism.'

'He's also a psychological master. He manipulates the minds of those around him to do his bidding in a very, very subtle way.'

Director J.J. Abrams also offered more information on the backstory of the character: 'His name is John Harrison and he is sort of an... average guy who works in an organisation called Starfleet and he turns against the group because he has got this backstory and this kind of amazing secret agenda.
