Star Trek Beyond: Exclusive clip shows the Enterprise coming under attack in sci-fi sequel

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and the late Anton Yelchin reprise their roles for the third outing

The release of Star Trek Beyond may be imminent, but fans need not look elsewhere for an exclusive look at the third outing for Captain Kirk and co - we have one right here.

Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana return in the new film which has been written by their co-star Simon Pegg who will return as Scotty.

The stakes seem higher than ever for the gang as evidenced in the the above clip which shows the Enterprise coming under attack from alien forces. Luring our heroes outside the ship, their safety is inadvertently left at risk with the film's chief villain Krall (Idris Elba) sniffing around.

Returning for the intergalactic escapades are Karl Urban's Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, John Cho's Sulu and, of course, Chekhov in a posthumous appearance from Anton Yelchin who was tragically killed last month.

The second trailer that was released earlier on this year also shows off Shohreh Aghdashloo whose character, High Command, was added into the film months after shooting wrapped.

Justin Lin (Fast & Furious) replaces JJ Abrams as director, with the Star Wars filmmaker remaining on board as producer.

Star Trek Beyond will be released in the UK and US on 22 July.
