Heroes Spoilers (Page 14)

Not that anyone believed Adam Monroe was actually down for the permanent count when Hiro buried him alive to end season two, but David Anders recently confirmed that he's likely to play a key role in Heroes Season Three.

"I believe so, yeah. I hope so. I know I'm going to be in one of the first six [episodes] so," Anders told SyFy Portal's Alan Stanley Blair at this weekend's Eclipse event in the United Kingdom. "But after that, it's called "Villains," and I am an uber-villain."

In the third volume of the series, the villains of the show will get a chance to show just how evil they can be. Among them are Adam, Angela Petrelli (Christine Rose) and 12 new characters still to be revealed. Then there's the true, major villain of the show, of course.

"Sylar is hard to beat. Sylar's eyebrows alone..." Anders said, adding another comment about his character. "Adam is just misunderstood. ‘When God wasn't happy with what he'd created he made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. He just washed it all away.' I love my lines."

Japanese actress Eriko Tamura (pictured) - who played the 16th-century love interest of Hiro at the outset of Heroes last season - has admitted that her character will play a role in season three.

Please, television gods, tell us this doesn't mean Hiro goes back to feudal Japan again.

Tamura said that her character, Taeko, was supposed to be transported to the present in episodes that were scripted, but not finished before the writers' strike commenced last fall.

"I am going to be in the present, yes," Tamura assured viewers in an interview. "I actually had a few episodes of the script then. Suddenly, the strike happened, so we had to stop the shooting."

Do you wanna see Hiro continue his love story in the present? Let us know.

As previously reported, the status of Kristen Bell is not 100% certain for season three. Technically the actress is yet to sign a new contract to appear on the show again.

In a recent interview with TV Guide, though, Bell didn't sound too worried about it:

"I've had an unbelievable experience thus far and they seem to like me and want to keep me onboard, so we're going to keep that ball rolling for as long as we can."

While the actress is busy shooting and promoting Forgetting Sarah Marshall over the next few months, she says that by the time she gets back "[Heroes] will be getting things together to start shooting. So I'll be free."

She also teases that Elle "is so evil and so broken, yet she actually redeems herself over the next couple of episodes."

We can't wait.

As for what will goes down in season three, here are a few more Heroes spoilers we've been hearing:

• A Japanese woman comes into Ando's (James Kyson Lee) life.
• Nikki really is dead, but is replaced by one of her alter egos.
• There's another appearance from Future Hiro (Masi Oka).
• There will also be a couple of new characters added to the New Orleans storyline. One is Officer Warren, a handsome police officer who may be a love interest for Monica (Dana Davis).
• There will also be a new character named Knox, a frightening villain recently sprung from prison.

Amidst rumors that Kristen Bell isn't signed on for season three of Heroes, Kristin of E! Online has the following message for fans;

I have it on good authority that Elle is very much a part of the writers' grand plan for season three. (Fear not: Tim Kring loves her just as much as we do!) So, if there is a holdup, I assure you it is more on the business (rather than creative) side of things, and there is still time to get this worked out before they go back into production.

Oh, and by the by, we might not see much of Claire-bear in the first episode or two. Hayden Panettiere told us at her Candies soiree that production is "gearing up in April and I'll be joining them in May when I come back from shooting I Love You, Beth Cooper in Vancouver."

We may have to wait until the fall for new episodes, but at least we can look over a few Heroes spoilers for that season now.

During the recent Jules Verne Festival, show creator Tim Kring and Jeph Loeb presented footage of the chapter "Villains." We showed the video here - but here's a rundown of changes that lie ahead for the show:

• Angela Petrelli has moved into a powerful role at The Company.  It has also been revealed that Level Five, one of The Company's prison areas where the most dangerous and powerful killers are detained, gets breached.

• There's also a scene in which most of the major Heroes are all dead.  Described by Noah Bennet like "12 Sylars running free," the shots shows Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) as a corpse in a pool of blood, Hiro (Masi Oka) been pinned to the wall with his own sword and Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) with his throat torn open.

Our thanks to Kristin from E! Online for this latest Heroes spoiler.

She's already told us that Elle, Adam, Nathan and Niki (or a different alter-ego portrayed by Ali Later) will all be back when the show returns.

But here's an interesting new tidbit: Adam Monroe was once named Richard Sanders... and is related to Niki! How many identities can one guy have? Guess when you've been alive for over 400 years, names can pile up.

We just gave you a Heroes spoiler about a new actor coming aboard the show, Jamie Hector.

Now, courtesy of Kristin from E! Online, here's information about a well-established actor/character on the series: Will we be seeing Niki again?

If you threatened to electrocute me with your lightning powers, I'd say…no. But I'd also tell you that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Ali Larter. I'm hearing that the plan as of the last time the writers met up (prestrike) was for Niki to be dead—but for an alter ego to take over.

Not Jessica, not the whipped-cream chick from Varsity Blues, and that leaves…come on, you can guess it! It's someone we've seen before. Of course, all that is subject to change due to the current holding pattern.

Volume three of Heroes will air at some point. We promise.

And when it does, actor Jamie Hector will appear on the series. Best known for his role on HBO's The Wire, Hector recently discussed his upcoming part on Heroes:

My character's name on Heroes is Benjamin Knox Washington. I can't really disclose much about him, but I can tell you it's a lot of fun. So many special effects — and it all winds up looking so real.

The set is different — it's warmer outside, obviously — and in Baltimore, since most of us are not from Baltimore, we all hang out and go to dinner after shooting. We're like a family.

As previously reported, Heroes Creator Tim Kring brought a brief clip of Heroes Chapter Three ("Villains") along with him to the Jules Verne Adventure Film Festival.

He also talked about the goal behind this volume of the story:

"The intention was really just fairly simple.� We wanted to sort of talk to the audience or tell the audience about the idea of flip side of heroes.� That for pretty much every hero there was a villain out there.

And the idea was really just to unleash an entire�we had fun with one or two villains along the way and unleashing a whole bevy of them just seemed like a lot of fun for us.� So the entire volume deals with how to put that genie back in the bottle."

Kring also called the current experience of not being able to write - for the first time in years - "surreal."

The cast of Heroes attended the Jules Vern Film Festival yesterday.

Aside from presenting an award to comic legend Stan Lee, the crew showed festival attendees a quick, one-minute sneak peek of the upcoming chapter, titled "Villains."

Here's an exciting look, for those yearning for some Heroes spoilers:
