Spock is up to his Vulcan ears in lava in a new clip from “Star Trek Into Darkness.”
“MTV First” debuted an exclusive clip Wednesday (May 8) from the hotly anticipated sequel, which is being followed at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.com by a conversation with Josh Horowitz and castmembers Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana and Benedict Cumberbatch, as well as director J.J. Abrams.
In the clip, Spock dangles above a mysterious (and volatile) alien landscape as Hikaru Sulu (John Cho) struggles to keep a shuttle pod steady. After Sulu insists that Spock abort the mission, the first officer offers a rebuttal tempered with predictable Vulcan logic.
“This is our only chance to save this species,” Spock observes. “If the volcano erupts, the planet dies.”
Eventually, Sulu and his co-pilot Uhura (Saldana) elect to pull out anyway, but their maneuver is too late: the cable holding Spock breaks, sending him flying toward the fiery, bubbling rock below.
Does Spock survive? You’ll have to tune into MTV just before 8 p.m. to find out!
