In an interview with MTV, J.J. Abrams<\/strong> spoke about Klingons in Star Trek into Darkness<\/em>, and about the role of Carol Marcus in the movie.<\/p>\n

Even though long-time fans know all about Klingons,\u00a0 Abrams explained that those new to the franchise coming to see Star Trek into Darkness<\/em> didn’t “need to know any preexisting stories to watch this film.”<\/p>\n

When it comes to the Klingons, “Their role in this is definitely that of adversary,” said Abrams, “and you’ll see how they play out.”<\/p>\n

Abrams then turned to Carol Marcus and the rumors of a “romantic interlude” with James T. Kirk.\u00a0 “[Kirk] meets her fairly early on,” said Abrams, “and again, she plays a science officer, she’s someone who is part of the adventure…it’s very much an action-adventure movie so once that gets going it’s a difficult thing to park the story and say ‘lets do a romantic interlude.’ But her role is important; she wouldn’t be in the movie otherwise.”<\/p>\n
