Klingons Confirmed To Appear In ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’

Are you one of the Trekkies with your fingers crossed that the rumors that Klingons would appear in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek Into Darkness turned out to be true? Well, it appears that some new footage was screened today for a select few at the Bad Robot Avid Post Production Webinar, and it turns out the rumors have indeed turned out to be true.

We’ve seen Klingons! They do have forehead ridges but with ornamental piercings and facial hair out of the original series!

There are 14 Klingon characters in the film, but only two have speaking roles and are the only ones to remove their helmets.

This should make Trekkies quite happy. But, will we see the Klingons as allies of Starfleet or the antagonists that they originally appeared as? Guess you’re going to have to wait and see when Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters May 17, 2013.
