Even as creator Tim Kring offers a production update on Heroes Reborn, TV Line reports that Chuck veteran Zachary Levi will star in the NBC revival.

“There are a few franchises I’ve always wanted to be a part of, and Heroes is one of them,” Levi told the website. “Chuck gave me the opportunity to wield some fun powers, but an entire world with superpowers is a world I’ve always wanted to explore."

No details have been revealed, but the 34-year-old actor is said to play a "key role." Heroes veteran Jack Coleman is the only cast member of the 2006-2010 drama confirmed to be returning.

Levi, who starred for five seasons on Chuck, also played Fandral in Marvel's Thor: The Dark World.

The 13-episode Heroes Reborn is expected to begin production within the next couple of months.
