So many clues, so little time.

First, let's see the trailer that aired during the Super Bowl.



Now, for the pictures!



So apparently this is the place where the London explosion happens. It looks like an armory, which would make sense with the type of explosion we see in the next shot.



Obviously we're seeing the explosion, but I wonder if this is the beginning of something worse that will happen to the city. I also wonder if the rubble of the armory or storage facility is connected to the poster we've seen.



This is where things get a little confusing. If you pause the previous trailers, the nacelle pylons of the ship crashing into the river are curved downward, and the shape of the nacelles angular. However we're obviously seeing the Enterprise in an atmospheric freefall. I will wondering if two ships will crash in this movie.



Obviously a ship will crash into a city, but I still wonder if it's going to be the Enterprise, another ship, or both. I guess time will tell. I also saw a bit of a reference to 9/11 in this shot.

So with this new footage, we can be assured things will get very interesting in the upcoming movie.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" starts Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and Benedict Cumberbatch. The movie is set to warp into theaters May 17.
