Rotten Tomatoes posted a new interview with Star Trek movie actor Anton Yelchin, who plays the new Pavel Chekov in the prequel. Here are few excerpts from the article. Beware of minor spoilers.

Quote from Anton Yelchin:
"I think a lot of space is obviously green screen -- what I'm looking at while seeing the Klingon warships."
This jibes with the earlier rumor of Klingons. See Screen Rant's report from October 2007, which now qualifies as a scoop.
Now Yelchin mentions "Klingon warships", but these don't need to be crewed by Klingons.
Consider that Eric Bana's 24th-century Romulans stumble back in time without a ship. They'd commandeer a ship sometime after they arrive in the 23rd-century. However, use of a Romulan ship would violate Star Trek canon, because young Kirk et al have never seen any recent Rommie ships (per TOS "Balance of Terror").
So, how do the Romulans scoot around Earth, undetected, when even their cloaked ships are visible to Starfleet motion sensors? Answer: Borrow a ride from old allies with whom you've already shared technology.
The Romulans can use Klingon warships in ST:XI, thus keeping themselves and their Warbirds unknown. After all, Romulans do use Klingon D7 warships in TOS "The Enterprise Incident". A secret Romulan-Klingon alliance might've been decades old at that time.

Quote from OV-101:
Maybe he has mistaken a Klingon ship for a Romulan?
Yelchin confirms earlier rumors about a Klingon presence in ST:XI.
Klingon warships, equipped with Romulan cloaking technology, are used by Rommies in TOS third season.
For some earlier period of time, Starfleet might not have known that Klingon ships may be crewed by non-Klingons. The Romulans could have used this secrecy for reconnaissance or assassination missions, without revealing themselves.
Maybe we won't see the Klingons in ST:XI, just their warships used by Romulans.
