The Klingons pictured above are angry at being left on the cutting room floor of JJ Abrams’ 2009 film, Star Trek; it’s possible the director will make amends by including them in the as-of-yet untitled sequel, Star Trek 2. At the MTV Movie Awards last night, Abrams participated in a skit that misdirected your attention onto Jennifer Lawrence’s hotness and Joel McHale’s terrible archery skills. What you may have missed is an intentionally included screenshot of a Klingon warrior on a monitor behind Abrams. Reportedly, this isn’t an old screenshot from the 2009 film, but an image that was added to the skit on purpose. Does it confirm that Klingons will be in the sequel? Maybe not, but it does confirm that Abrams likes to dick with us. Hit the jump to check out the image. (Update: HitFix has confirmed that the image is from the sequel and that it features a real live Klingon.)
The site that brought this to our attention is the same one that previously suggested the presence of Klingons in the sequel. In that same piece, it was also presented that Benedict Cumberbatch would in fact be playing the iconic (i-Khan-ic?) villain of Khan in the sequel. That presumption was recently refuted by star, Simon Pegg. So is the Klingon screencap just another red herring from Abrams or a clue into what we can expect to see in the sequel? Starring Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Alice Eve and Karl Urban, the Untitled Star Trek Sequel debuts May 17th, 2013.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t see any Klingon picture…
I see what you did there.
hahahahahahahahahaha
No more Klingons in a ‘Star Trek’ movie, they completely ran that into the ground with the previous ones, have some imagination and invent new alien races and/or enemies not seen before…
They are ‘constant as the northern star’
No, sorry still getting distracted by Jennifer Lawrence’s hottness. Let me just… yeah… let me just look at that again.
Oh, hey look, KLINGON!
Interesting!
I think that Klingon scene is a deleted one from the first Star Trek movie. Nero is held on a Klingon prison planet.
I do believe all the ideas you have presented on your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for novices. Could you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
From what I heard in the main storyline is Khan, however Klingons are the ones who find him. Instead of originally Kirk from TOS. I don’t believe they will be a big part of the story.
