More 'Star Trek Beyond' character pics unveiled

We can hear Star Trek geeks squeaking in their boots each day, as new character posters are revealed in promotion of the forthcoming instalment in the franchise, ‘Star Trek Beyond’.

The film sees director Justin Lin (‘The Fast And The Furious’ franchise) at the helm of another epic voyage of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her intrepid crew.

In ‘Beyond’, the Enterprise crew explore the furthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them, and everything the Federation stands for, to the ultimate test.

And the crew (and one or two foe) make for a pretty spunky lot, with the film starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, Idris Elba, Karl Urban and Sofia Boutella.

No spoiler alerts as of yet; just enjoy these rather handsome character pics, above and below, and view the latest official trailer above.  Michael Mastess
