Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Chuck and Thor: The Dark World star Zachary Levi is stepping up to the plate once more as one of the stars of NBC’s rebooted Heroes: Reborn.

Levi will be joining original series star Jack Coleman, who is reprising his role as Noah Bennett, aka HRG, according to NBC president Bob Greenblatt. “We’re still keeping Zac’s role under wraps because everything is shrouded in mystery for this miniseries, but we’re very excited he’s been cast,” Greenblatt explained at the TCA tour on January 16th.

Levi, who starred for five years as nerd-cum-spy Chuck, added: “One of my first, and fondest, memories of joining the NBC family in 2007 was having the pleasure of getting to know Tim Kring, and the cast of Heroes. 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.”

The miniseries will air in the summer.
