Taking its marketing campaign to warp speed, Paramount Pictures has unleashed four character videos, and just as many new TV spots, for "Star Trek Beyond." They arrive in the wake of the final theatrical trailer, Rihanna's "Sledgehammer" video, and the first clip.

The character videos spotlight Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, Sofia Boutella as Jaylah and John Cho as Sulu. Presumably we'll see the remainder of the cast next week.

Directed by Justin Lin, the sequel to 2013’s “Star Trek Into Darkness” sends the Enterprise crew into the farthest reaches of uncharted space, where they encounter a mysterious new enemy who puts them and everything the Federation stands for to the test.

Opening July 22, “Star Trek Beyond” stars Idris Elba, Chris Pine, Simon Pegg, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, John Cho, Anton Yelchin and Karl Urban.
