"[I think] it'd be great to use [Matt] as an investigative tool to find new people with power," he previously told Rick Yaeger of One Question Interviews. "I'm so game, so excited. I'm excited as a fan to see what happens."

Jack Coleman, Masi Oka and Jimmy Jean-Louis will also return as Noah Bennet, Hiro Nakamura and The Haitian. Heroes Reborn will also feature newcomers Zachary Levi (Chuck), Ryan Guzman (Pretty Little Liars) and Robbie Kay (Once Upon a Time).

Heroes debuted in 2006, and follows a group of people who discover they possess superhuman abilities. The revival will see a new group explore their powers, and is scheduled to premiere in the fall. Heroes creator Tim Kring will serve as executive producer.
