In a hero ready to come back from the dead?
According to Entertainment Weekly, it's been confirmed that Robert Forster is set to Nathan and Peter's presumed-deceased father, Arthur Petrelli.
Considering the show's penchant for time travel, there's no telling if viewers will see Arthur in the present or via flashbac - or even during one of Hiro's fun excursions. Another unknown: whether Arthur will use his powers for good or evil.
Rumors of Arthur's possible appearance this season have been burning up the Web for months. While it's not clear when Forster will first show up, at press tour last month, his on-screen widow, Cristine Rose, hinted that a bombshell would be dropped in the two-hour premiere on September 22.
"There's a secret that comes out that if you're a true fan, you're just going to die," the portrayer of the Petrelli matriarch said . "It's a good Angela secret, and it's [not about] her powers."
Forster has appeared in movies such as Lucky Number Slevin and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
With the third season of Heroes set to premiere next month, NBC has released the official opening episode description for "The Second Coming."
Check it out below, as a pair of promotional shots for the season premiere are interspersed within the synopsis...
Previously in “Volume 1: Genesis” and “Volume 2: Generations,” when a total eclipse cast its shadow across the globe, a multitude of everyday men and women with special powers seemingly were called forth.
To prevent grim predictions of the future, a handful of these individuals banded together to save the cheerleader, New York City, and the world. Now, as ominous, new signs signal catastrophe ahead, new and familiar adversaries begin to gather…
With his abilities returned to him, serial killer Sylar (Zachary Quinto) relentlessly continues to accumulate other people’s abilities, which leads him to the Bennet house. Bound to a secret company with a keen interest in people like his daughter, “H.R.G.,” a.k.a. Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman), finds new purpose when his most dangerous, fantastic foes break out of custody and must be dragged back.
Reeling from recent events and revelations, Claire Bennet (Hayden Panettiere), an indestructible high school cheerleader, struggles to define her identity and place in the world.
In a recent New York Times article, creator Tim Kring says fans will see a rebooted, improved series.
“A little absence can really be a benefit,” Kring said, to the newspaper, citing other “eventlike shows” like The Sopranos that have rebounded from long gaps between seasons. In the intervening months, he said, viewers “have seen a lot of stuff on TV that wasn’t of the quality of Heroes. I think they’ll be raring to go.”
Regarding the criticism the show was faced with last season, Kring added:
“The double-edged sword of our fan base is they have a passion for the show. And that passion cuts both ways. It cuts towards, ‘You’re the greatest thing ever’ and towards ‘You’ve disappointed me.’”
In closing, Kring said season three will start fresh.
“We are not dragging a lot of story behind us,” he said. “It you started cold, I think you could pick up the thread. That is the goal from here on out."
Ntare Mwine - best known for his recent role on The Riches - will join the cast of Heroes for season three.
Mwine will potray an artistic African with special abilities. Sources say he'll have close relationships with a few of the established characters. Look for the actor to stick around for nine episodes.
Here's the first commercial NBC has aired for the third season of Heroes. Look for it to air again throughout the summer during telecasts of America's Got Talent:
Francis Capra - formerly of Veronica Mars fame - is joining the Heroes this fall. He'll take on the recurring role of Jesse Murphy.
According to TV Guide, not much is known at the moment about this character. We can report, though, that he'll be one of the season's villains; and that Jesse will cross paths with Peter Petrelli.
On Heroes, Francis Capra will reunite with former Veronica Mars co-star Kristen Bell.
