After last week’s press conference in Los Angeles, organized by NBC to announce the Heroes World Tour, Tim Kring, creator, writer and executive producer of the show, sat down to field questions about next season of Heroes .
Here’s the highlights from the Q&A session:

Q: Is everyone coming back for Season Two?

Kring: Well, I don’t want to spoil that for the fans. Clearly we left things up in the air with several of the characters and we want to make sure that the fans don’t know what’s going to happen so that it doesn’t spoil their [enjoyment].

Q: You said 24 episodes. Does that mean no one really died?

Kring: Again, you really just have to wait.

Q: But you’re keeping them available so you can bring them back?

Kring: Exactly, they’re all on retainer just in case they’re needed. [joking]

Q: So will there be some kind of recap for people who didn’t see last season?

Kring: Only slightly because the actual episode itself, it’s an episode entitled “Four Months Later” and so we pick up the stories four months after we left off at the end of the season. There is tremendous mystery in what happened during those four months and that’s part of why you’re watching these first few episodes. They’re revealing what actually happened. So the recap, in a way, is sort of built into the story.

Q: Will Tim Sale [the artist that -in reality- creates Isaac's artwork]be involved in Season Two?

Kring: Yes, Tim will be staying involved. So, the idea of the paintings is going to have a clever sort of reentry into the show.

Q: When you say four months later does that mean that Hiro will have been in feudal Japan for four months?

With the countdown to the final episode almost complete, we still have no answers to this seasons biggest questions.Who will explode? Who knows? Sylar? Peter?

Well, lets start with Linderman. For a while there, people were predicting that Linderman was really the Petrelli brother’s father. “The fact is Linderman is such a fabulous part for an actor to do that, really, I had to do no acting at all,” said McDowell recently. “I think the show is really well-written. I must say as a viewer, you’re always on the edge of your seat, but I haven’t got a clue what’s going on.” Well that didn’t turn out to be true, but it would have made another amazing twist. And now that he is dead-having had is brain torn out by DL- people now want to know if his regenerative powers can be used for DL, and even possibly save Linderman himself.”Well, if I told you how many I’m doing then it would probably give it away, so I better not say anything about that,” said McDowell when pressed about his contract with the hit NBC show. “But suffice to say that I’m doing a few of these and I’m doing other work, too. So, I’ll go in and out, I suppose is the answer to that.” So we know that he will still be around….but how and when are still a mystery.

Malcolm McDowell, yes it’s true, The guy from “A Clockwork Orange” is the mysterious Linderman..

We already told you that Malcolm McDowell casted as an ally of Nathan Petrelli, and Michael Ausiello from TvGuide confirms our suspicions and here he is…

According to print issue of USA Today, Malcom McDowell has been cast on Heroes as “an ally of Nathan.” (via zotoinan from 9thwonders)

Biography
Possibly best known for his portrayal of Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange (1971), McDowell made his screen debut in Poor Cow (1967) followed by The Raging Moon (1970), Figures in a Landscape (1970) and If… (1968) His performances caught the attention of Stanley Kubrick, who cast McDowell as the lead in A Clockwork Orange. He then starred in the ambitious O Lucky Man! (1973). McDowell regularly turned up on British Television productions in the early 1970s in adaptations of theatre classics. He co-starred in Voyage of the Damned (1976), and made his Hollywood-movie debut as H. G. Wells in Time After Time (1979). That popular movie also introduced him to Mary Steenburgen, whom he subsequently married in 1980, but divorced ten years later in 1990. He is also well known in Star Trek circles as “the man who killed Captain James T. Kirk” in the film Star Trek: Generations. In 1991, McDowell married Kelley Kuhr. He has three children.

Maybe he will be Linderman, maybe someone else, but he’s a great actor for sure and he’ll be great on Heroes. What do you think?
