MANILA, Philippines – Good news for Heroes fans: Hiro Nakamura’s back!

Actor Masi Oka is set to reprise his role as space/time jumper Hiro Nakamura in the upcoming miniseries Heroes Reborn. 

In a statement to Deadline, he said: 

“I’m excited to return to my Heroes roots. Hiro Nakamura was such an inspirational role to play, and I’m hoping the fans will enjoy seeing him back on TV.”

Masi will be joining fellow Heroes co-star Jack Coleman, who will return as Noah Bennet, with Chuck alum Zachary Levi as a new addition.  

Executive producer Tim Kring also said: 

“The character of Hiro Nakamura was such a huge part of the first series’ success, and a gigantic fan favorite. We felt the fans would really love seeing him back in action again.”

 

In Heroes, Hiro Nakamura was a former computer programmer who possessed the power to alter time, and first found out about his powers when he was able to delay a Tokyo train’s arrival by 14 seconds.
