Michael Ausiello’s weekly Ask Ausiello column has several Heroes items this week.

  • Kristen Bell has yet to be signed for the upcoming season. However, they are in active discussions for her to return for a story arc.
  • Ausiello states the Heroes casting offices will probably be filled over the next few months with people who are good at being bad, which is probably an allusion to the title of Volume 3 – “Villians”.
