\"HeroesReborn_ZachLevi\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember that NBC show ‘Heroes<\/em>‘ from a few\u00a0years back? “Save the cheerleader, save the world,” and all that jazz? It did very well the first season, then suffered a steady decline in both story and viewers until it was cancelled after the fourth season. You may have heard already that it’s coming back<\/a> sometime this year.<\/p>\n

Series creator Tim Kring has stated the new series will focus on a new cast<\/a> of heroes, rather than attempting to bring back the old cast. As of now, only one person from the original show is attached to the new series: actor Jack Coleman, who played company man Noah Bennet, also known\u00a0as the Man with the Horn-Rimmed Glasses. So who else will be joining the cast?<\/p>\n

The nerd king, Zachary Levi, that’s who.<\/p>\n

Zachary Levi is probably best known for his role as the lead character in the wildly popular action\/comedy\u00a0Chuck<\/em>. He also starred as Fandral of the Warriors Three in\u00a0Thor: The Dark World<\/em> recently, and is the founder of the website\u00a0The Nerd Machine<\/a> and Comic-Con event panel, Nerd HQ. Not to mention his role as the valiant thief Flynn Rider in Tangled<\/em>.\u00a0He had the following to say about his recruitment to\u00a0Heroes Reborn<\/em>:<\/p>\n

I was a fan of their collective work and always thought it was such a fantastic and fun world they got to play in. With ‘Heroes Reborn,’ I’m honored to have the opportunity to bring more of that world to life, and excited to help in offering the fans of the franchise an epic new installation of a series that made such a huge impact on entertainment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I personally think this will be a great fit. I went through ‘Zachary Levi withdrawal’ after\u00a0Chuck<\/em> ended, and would love to see him in a new show. His likeable personality and versatility as an actor could land him in almost any type of role, although I have a hard time picturing him in a villain’s role.<\/p>\n

NBC is reportedly eying a Summer 2015 launch for\u00a0Heroes Reborn<\/em>; exact date to be determined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
