Zachary Levi in Chuck.

No details on his character are revealed, except that it's a key role.Levi tells TV Line, “There are a few franchises I’ve always wanted to be a part of, and Heroes is one of them. 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. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with Tim [Kring], and the awesome team around him, in bringing this to life. Moreover, to be working with NBC again is such a reward in itself, as my bonds and relationships there are deep.”Levi is the second cast member to join the series, alongside the returning Jack Coleman. No date is set for Heroes Reborn, but it will debut sometime this year.
