We’re just a matter of days away from the premiere of Star Trek: Picard, the latest live-action television series set within the Star Trek universe. The highly-anticipated series, will see Patrick Stewart returning in the iconic titular role, after seemingly walking away from the franchise after Star Trek: Nemesis. In celebration of the series’ upcoming debut, Stewart recently graced the cover of Variety — and he may have briefly set the Internet on fire in the process. Photos from Stewart’s photoshoot quickly made the rounds online on Wednesday, with many fans marveling at the actor’s polished and photogenic formal wear.
