Papa Petrelli As Robert Forster
2 Aug
Robert Forster has been cast to play Arthur Petrelli, the father of the brothers Petrelli ( hint: name them)
Here’s what Ausiello has to say
Given Heroes’ penchant for time travel, though, there’s no telling if we’ll see Arthur in the present, via flashback, or during one of Hiro’s little excursions. Another unknown: whether Arthur will use his powers (’cause you know he’s got ‘em) for good or evil.
Rumors of Arthur’s possible “resurrection” this season have been burning up the Internets for months. And while it’s not clear when Forster will first turn up, at press tour last month, his on-screen widow, Cristine Rose, hinted in this video interview that a bombshell would be dropped in the two-hour premiere on Sept. 22. “There’s a secret that comes out that if you’re a true fan, you’re just going to die,” she teased. “It’s a good Angela secret, and it’s [not about] her powers.”
What his powers are? Is he alive? God or Bad? Sound off bellow
Interesting
ooooooo..
I hope he’s still alive because there’s so much history there that we don’t really know about…but if he were dead and in the past, that could be done really well as well. Anyway they do it is sure to be good!
that would be cool if he can back, as one of the villains of course, and his sons had to bring him down. Could be very interesting…
This could prove interesting… I’d like to know why he was looking away in the infamous photo… other than the fact that he apparently wasn’t cast yet…
I never believed he was dead, this is going to rock!
kool, maybe he’s one of the escaped villains
OOOOOO!!! I can’t wait. just 49 more days!!!
The bombshell is that Sylar is the secret Pertrelli bro!!! It fits everything I’ve heard so far about spoilers… so it’s true!!! He was put up for adoption after Angela dreamed that he would be a villain. It fits what Christine previously said, true fans would die if this were true, and it isn’t about her powers!!!
cool, awesome. its about time to see whats arthur personality like and abilities. i still want to learn about all dead company members they could be important to the heroes
the entire story is unrealistic itself however great. let’s not make it even more unrealistic by dropping him in from the dead (he committed suicide, right?). a history of his character can be told by a series of excerpt flashbacks. from there, we can all contimplate on the essence of his character as either a hero or a villian.
EXTRA SPOILERS HERE:
About Petrelli papa and mama. Arthur’s power was the same as Claire’s power. Genetically speaking, the recessive gene for such a passive ability was within Nathan, and passed on to Claire.
Think of the resources the company has. Arthur attempted suicide twice before success. The only way a man of such resources could fail to kill himself would be if there was some power holding him back. Plus, in a graphic novel chapter, Bob says to his daughter, referring to Claire, “She could be the next Linderman….You know, she could even be the next Arthur Petrelli”
If Arthur is not immortal, he certainly has a healing power, and was not satisfied with helping just one person at a time. He wanted something big, and didn’t want to wait around for an eternity just to be disappointed.
As for Angela, most people know this already, but her power is precognitive through her dreams.
I got that from someone and wanted to ensure that i got it right.
Ohh… so I read on the internet that Niki is commig back as a new character, Tracy Strauss andthat she also obtain entirly different Power… What’s really surprising to me is that I also read a comment that said that Ali’s character will new have the cntrol of water or some sort of telekinetic ability.
If that’s the case then wouldn’t Sylar be able to stop her just by freezing her?
Ohh plus some people (fans) are pretty much cnvinced that Tracy will be a hero and will literally be with Nathan.
These two will be great.
Aaron, where do you get these spoilers from, but im glad that Arthur has healing powers and just because angela says he “commited suicide” doesn’t mean he commited suicide angela lied to peter about him dying about a heart attack, how do you she’s not lying about Arthur commiting suicide. He could still be alive, probably a villain in level 5 or probably a hero.
I really want to find out more about more of the deceased company founders.
is paula gramble DL’s mother? if it is we already know her powers ability augumention.
is ando related to peter and nathan? are hiro and ando half brothers?
this season is going to be very interesting… the father’s power is going to be a hard one to figure out… he has two kids that fly and the other one absorbs powers… i can’t wait to see and find out for myself though
