Yeah, since Hiro is perpetually stuck in the "kid" more and hardly ever uses that sword, perhaps someone else should take it.

Time to break out my Hiro Katana that I bought during the original show.

Greg Grunberg returning for NBC revival



Another major character from Heroes is returning for NBC’s revivial.

EW has exclusively learned that Greg Grunberg—who played the telepathic detective Matt Parkman throughout the first iteration of the series—is officially on board for Heroes Reborn.

We’re told Grunberg will have a guest star arc on the new series, which airs Thursday nights this fall on NBC.

He’s joining fellow returning stars Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura and Jack Coleman as Noah Bennet, as well as newcomer to the show Zachary Levi (Chuck).

Grunberg previously said he was down for coming back to the show: “Well, you know, it’d be great to use that cop character as an investigative tool to find new people with power,” he told interviewer Rick Yaeger last year. “I’m excited as a fan, to see what happens. If I can be a part of this, I would jump at the chance…None of us have been notified. We have no idea what’s going on. They hinted that they might use some of the old characters to move story and plot. I think the fans or whoever was watching the show before, which was the world, really wants closure. I don’t know how they would do this without using some of the main characters. I hope that they include me.”

Grunberg recently had a starring role in the ABC pilot Warriors, which didn’t get picked up. But he’s also got a part in an upcoming film called Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which we suspect will get some attention. The actor also had an arc on Showtime’s Masters of Sex last year.

He slipped off my radar after Heroes. I saw he was in Big Ass Spider and wrongly assumed he was doing nothing but crap now but Star Wars and a stint on Masters of Sex. Not bad at all. Kinda surprised they got him back now if I'm honest.

Always been a fan of Grunberg so I am happy with the news.

"Greg Grunberg @greggrunberg
The news about my return to @Heroes Reborn is getting my MIND reeling! http://sciencefiction.com/2015/05/24...=&st_refQuery= RT"

[Terjyn]

It's weird. Even though I have no particularly strong negative feelings about the old show, the more people they bring back the less interested in the new show I become.

I really hope it's mostly cameos, rather than real parts.

"Heroes: Reborn": Sendhil Ramamurthy to Reprise Role as Mohinder

Sendhil Ramamurthy is the latest "Heroes" alum to sign on for NBC’s "Heroes: Reborn", premiering this fall.

Our sister site Deadline was first to report the news.

I sure hope these returning characters aren't going to be treated like they were the last time.

"Now that I've helped you out of a jam, Noah, good luck saving the world. I've got a coupon to use at the buffet before it expires, so see ya."

[celticmoon]

It would make sense to bring back Mohinder... if they didn't completely destroy his character in season 3....

I'm starting to get a little wary about this project. The reason the show failed in the first place was because they couldn't let go of the original cast... At first, it seemed like they wanted to make a rebooted show with a loose connection to the original. But now it's starting to look like they're bringing way too many of the original characters back....

"Heroes" Star Cristine Rose Returning for Revival
by Andy Swift
June 10, 2015







"Heroes: Reborn‘s" latest piece of casting news is a real mother.

Cristine Rose, who played the manipulative Angela Petrelli — mom to Nathan (Adrian Pasdar) and Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) — in the original NBC series, will reprise her role in the upcoming revival, according to E! News.

Though details of Rose’s return are being kept under wraps, a quick refresher on her powers should be enough to get you excited for her reappearance: Not only could the devious diva see the past and future via her dreams, but she could also enter other people’s dreams for her own dark purposes.

NBC's "Heroes: Reborn" To Get New Tie-in Comic Book (Exclusive)
June 10, 2015
by Graeme McMillan


NBC's "Heroes" revival is going beyond the television screen. British-based publisher Titan Comics will be releasing a series of comics based on the series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The new comic book series will be co-written by "Heroes: Reborn" supervising producer Seamus Kevin Fahey and Zach Craley, with art by Rubine. The first five-issue storyline will center around the origin of one of the television series' new characters.



The series will be the second comics incarnation of "Heroes"; during the series' original run, DC Entertainment published a series of graphic novels collecting the webcomics created to accompany the show, some of which were written by Craley.

Similarly, this will be the second time Fahey has worked on a comic book adaptation of a television show he's written for, following his "Battlestar Galactica" work for Dynamite Entertainment.



According to Titan's publishing director Chris Teather, the new comic books are "created in close collaboration with the team behind the NBC show," with Teather describing them as "bonus episodes" to the television series.

The series will launch digitally and in comic book stores this October, accompanying the fall launch of the NBC show.

So... most of the stars coming back... and doing a comic tie-in again too... sounds a lot like this is slowly but surely becoming less of a reboot and more of the same, which is a shame.

All the most interesting characters. I think I'd prefer Sylar and Claire over who they have got (especially annoying Mohinder), but the actors have gone on to other projects. The only one of the returners I'm bothered about is Hiro.
