Heroes Season 3 News from Wizard World Con
If you were at Wizard World Con this week, you might have heard that Tim Kring, producer Jeph Loeb, and star Milo Ventimiglia participated in a Heroes panel that was supposed to be a discussion of the upcoming third season, “Villains”. Only they were told not to talk about the upcoming Season 3, so, er, the panel sounded like it was pretty much a bust. There were, though, a couple of interesting bits, one about Peter, and the other about Maya and Sylar. (The writer is a Maya/Sylar fan; his handle is “mylarskid”.) As you’ll recall, Sylar tricked Maya into falling for him, only to betray her at the end of Season 2. What will happen between those two? There are some hints below.
First, here’s the part about Milo (via):
Me: (To Milo) Do you feel Peter at some point will mentor other ‘Specials’
Milo: I feel he could definitely end up doing that but right now he’s saved the world–TWICE! And he is still dealing with controlling all the powers he’s absorbed. This may confuse him and lead him…
Milo was implying Peter may go down a dark path before returning to the the light. Whether he may join with Sylar or Adam or neither.
And these, about Sylar and Maya:
Sylar News: He should be in the first episode of “Villians” and as long as Zach remains uncommitted, there will be much more of Sylar this season.
I asked Jeph which is more powerful Sylar’s TK or Maya’s Black Tears. He said that we might not yet know the extent of Maya’s powers. And that the “Black Tears” are the symptoms, not the power themselves. It implies that maybe she will be getting even more control of her powers and that they might change.
Also when I asked if Sylar and Maya would throwdown or something. He answered “…Or something.”
Which I take as meaning they may not actually confront each other one on one. She may simply use her powers and he may not even know she’s there.
OR
They may not fight at all.
Yup, not exactly great pickings there. But some possible future good news; according to the writer, producer Jeph Loeb mentioned at the con that, in a few weeks, there will be a major Season 3 announcement. According to Loeb, it will “blow your mind”.
