Where are the heroes? That's the question asked in the new Comic-Con trailer for NBC's upcoming series, Heroes Reborn.
Of course, the most important thing in this trailer is that we finally get a sneak peek at the return of Noah Bennett, as played by Jack Coleman on the original Heroes series. Not only that, we also see the return of the infamous horn-rimmed glasses.
This trailer shows us more about Heroes Reborn than we've previously seen, and it looks like the new show has some potential. First, we see the heroes treated as criminals and that there are now organizations hunting them down and killing them (gone are the days of Primatech capturing them for experimentation). We also see that this means that most heroes are now in hiding, even though the world is exploding around them.
"Now, if you were to wake up with a power in our thing, it'd be a very, very bad thing," said series creator Tim Kring at San Diego Comic-Con, as reported by Mashable. "It takes the basic idea of the show and cranks it up a bit.... There are a little more stakes."
Where are the heroes? Turns out that many are still there in the shadows, including a few familiar faces from the original Heroes series, such as fan favorites Hiro and Mohinder. But there's something else going on, too, something that looks like a big black hole that's threatening to swallow the Earth whole.
This new series has potential to continue the storyline started in the Heroes series that ran from 2006-2010. Writers of that show had a specific plan in place for each season, but a WGA writers' strike affected the second season and threw a wrench into those plans, which affected the following two seasons. The show never fully recovered and NBC canceled it after lackluster ratings in its fourth season.
Heroes Reborn airs on NBC later this year.
