Actress Ali Later, who played Niki Sanders on Heroes, a woman with multiple personalities that each displayed different super powers has given her thoughts about returning to the role for Heroes: Reborn. In short, it's not likely to happen.
Said Larter to TV Guide, "No, At this point, I think I've heard that Jack [Coleman] is coming back, but I'm committed to [TNT's] Legends. I'm on series, so I don't have the time to work on another project. Not that I didn't love Heroes and loved working on it, but I'm just at a different stage of my life. I'm super excited and proud to be a part of this show and working with Sean Bean and an incredible cast."
Elsewhere, Zachary Quinto was also asked about returning to the world of Heroes as the character that made him famous, Sylar. The Star Trek Into Darkness actor told
IGN, "I've been in touch with Tim [Kring, creator] and he told me they were doing this and we left the door open for me to be involved, the trouble is really my availability." He then expressed a few more doubts, particularly about revisiting a role from years past when he's trying to push his career forward. "I don't know that it would really even be possible. And it's a challenge for me because that experience and role and opportunity really changed my life completely and sent me on a path that I might not have otherwise have been on, but at the same time I'm very interested in forward momentum, I'm very interested in expanding and defying people's expectations of me....no one's actually given me an offer. We'll see. I'm glad they're doing it and I know that whether or not I'm involved that the fans will enjoy it."
Heroes: Reborn is described as a soft reboot of the original 2009 NBC superhero drams which chronicled everyday, normal people discovering they possessed uncanny abilities. A 13-episode miniseries is expect to air in 2015. Thus far, the only original Heroes cast member
confirmed to return is Jack Coleman as Noah Bennett aka HRG.
