No doubt. Much the same way the tried(and failed) to throw off people with a press release that Marion Cotillard would be playing a character named "Miranda Tate" in Dark Knight Rises, when her true identity in the movie was actually Ra's Al Ghul's daughter Talia.

However, the fact remains that we have a bad buy with superhuman strength, and he is going by the name of a character from the episode where they found Khan. They would have to think people are pretty dense not to see any connection.
