This might be a picky little problem but can you change the info for Benedict Cumberbatch's character on the new Star Trek film? It is a massive spoiler for me to learn that he is in fact Khan and it would also spoil it for anyone else that stumbles upon it (as I did by accident) as the film has not been released here yet! Thanks

It might not be a spoiler, although this in itself might be a spoiler, this has been flagged up already for being wrong (best bet is that the character is called John Harrison - the name of my great-great grandfather):

There have been a lot of rumours flying around about who the villain will be:

As it stands it seems IMDB are waiting for the film to be released before they finalise the credits based on those shown in the film.
Sorry if that has spoilered the spoiler or something.

Thank you, I didn't really hold much hope it would change but they have literally changed it to Khan now, completely dropping John Harrison. I guessed that it was going to be Khan in the movie but to stumble upon it on the cast list was a bummer!

But, as far as anyone can tell, it isn't Khan - this was added early on when that rumour was current and it now seems to be incorrect. Although we won't know until the film is released.

Thanks for posting, Brian. I have queried this credit with our data team and they have advised that is it not a spoiler. For more info, please see https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topi...

How is this not a spoiler?!?! The production has kept this fact under wraps and it is not revealed into about half way through the film. In fact, I did not know who Benedict Cumberbatch was playing until I went to your page to verify that I had actually seen Noel Clarke in the commercial. That Cumberbatch is playing Kahn is a major spoiler, and I was annoyed to have stumbled across it. Your data team is wrong in its assumption and needs to exercise better common sense.

The IMDB policy clearly states "Character names that constitute spoilers, even if factually correct, must be avoided at all cost." In all the press, J.J. Abrams and Benedict Cumberbatch are saying he is John Harrison, because crediting him as the other name is a huge spoiler. They wouldn't be doing that if we were supposed to know before going to see the film. The credits roll AFTER the movie, not before and it is the middle of the film before you know who it is.
Emperor: Nobody cares if this has already been addressed. It should be brought up until it is changed. It is wrong and unfair to have this credited as it is. Benedict Cumberbatch should be credited as John Harrison. And I have tweeted and contacted them thru facebook too, and gotten no response.

Spoiler on star trek into darkness cast section. The villain is named "john harrison"; I wish not have known that he is Khan. Not mentioned on the trailers. Huge spoiler no matter whats (ending?) credits says!!! I know this has been asked before, but please, have a little decency! It will not hurt to call the character "john harrison"!!!
