We’re dying to know who is John Harrison, the villain in the upcoming STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS! Everything has been kept under wraps regarding not only this sequel, but especially the villain played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
It’s now being considered that John Harrison may actually be a little-known STAR TREK character named Robert April. When pitching the show, creator Gene Roddenberry had Robert April captaining the Starship Enterprise. However, by the time the show was picked up, the name had been changed to Christopher Pike.
Robert April made only on appearance which was in the animated series and was introduced as the first commanding captain of the Enterprise in an episode where the entire Enterprise crew begins to age backwards.
Some speculate that the character of Robert April, who is introduced in the last panel of the official prequel comic book, STAR TREK COUNTDOWN TO DARKNESS, may end up becoming John Harrison! Others firmly believe that this is just a trick to throw people off the scent.
Guess we’ll have to wait until May 17 to find out the real story!
