Star Trek EW Cover

“It’s not an Aliens’ prequel!” we were told for months on end about Prometheus, only then to learn the contrary. “No,the Losties, aren’t dead or in limbo” and then we found out…well I still don’t even know. But NOW…after months of denial from cast and crew of Star Trek: Into Darkness on whether actor Benedict Cumberbatch was indeed portraying the character of Khan Noonian Singh, we were told he was portraying a character named John Harrison. But we have been tipped off now that Entertainment Weekly may have indeed proven (intentionally or not), that those rumors about Benedict were again misleading…and he is, Khaaaannnnnn!!! As Star Trek fans can tell you, Khan is a classic Trek villain who originated in the 1967 TV episode “Space Seed” and again in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and was played by actor portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán. Now in this J.J. Abramns reboot sequel it seems that Benedict may be taking over the reins for the renewed franchise. Click ahead to see what blew the clever and well protected secret.

Is Benedict Khan!?!? We’ll see…

If you click on this link/url, http://backissues.ew.com/storefront/2013/voyage-into-the-new-star-trek-kirk-khan/prodEW20130215A.html you’ll see what seems to be a pretty obvious spoiler. To add insult to injury the sub-header even says VOYAGE INTO THE NEW STAR TREK KIRK AND KHAN, next to a photo of the upcoming magazine’s cover and images of Chris Pine (Kirk) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Khan!). EW has had set exclusives and interviews with all the actors of the film, most likely they know better than anyone who is who. So is this a major spoiler, another deceptive ruse, or a typo? I guess we’ll find out when Star Trek Into Darkness hits theaters May 17, 2013.

EW Weekly Magazine Page…does this contain a MAJOR Spoiler!?!?
