From Comingsoon.net:

Alice Eve's Star Trek Into Darkness Character Revealed
Source: Silas Lesnick December 10, 2012

This Friday, Paramount Pictures will reveal the first nine minutes of J.J.
Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness before select IMAX showings of The Hobbit: An
Unexpected Journey. Today, ComingSoon.net was afforded the rare opportunity of
visiting Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and talking with some of the talent
behind next summer's much anticipated release. We'll have a lot more from the
visit posted soon, but one mystery was officially revealed: Alice Eve's role is
that of Carol Marcus.

Marcus, played by Bibi Besch in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, was, in the
original timeline, a Federation scientist whose work led to the top-secret
"Project Genesis." She had a relationship with James T. Kirk and became mother
to his son, David, but the pair ultimately decided that it was best for her to
raise the boy alone.

As to how closely Star Trek Into Darkness will mirror the original canon remains
to be seen, although Bad Robot's nonchalant reveal of the Marcus role suggests
that no major spoilers should be inferred from the character's identity.

Also starring Chris Pine, John Cho, Simon Pegg, Bruce Greenwood, Zachary Quinto,
Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Benedict Cumberbatch and Peter Weller,
Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters everywhere on May 17, 2013.

Eh yuck. I wanted to know, but that's not who I was hoping it was. I never really did care for the way she treated Kirk.
