Even more casting news - Entertainment Weekly's Ausiello reports that Ray Park (Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode I, Toad from X-Men, and Snake-Eyes in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie) is in talks to join the cast for a multiple-episode arc, perhaps as "the knife thrower."

Also in talks to join the series next season is Deanna Bray (Sue Thomas, F.B. Eye). Bray will most likely be playing a deaf love interest for one of the Heroes.

Park's casting has now been officially confirmed.

UPDATED JUNE 3, 2009:
Robert Knepper (Prison Break) will be Heroes' new main villain for the series' fifth volume.

Knepper will play Samuel, a Jim Jones type -- charismatic but evil, with a twisted sense of humor -- who will veer into the lives of all heroes. The character had been referred to as "Carnival Barker" in the series breakdown released last month. He will be seen in at least six episodes of the season.

ALSO UPDATED JUNE 3, 2009:
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that actress Madeline Zima (Californication) will be playing Claire's "edgy" roommate in multiple episodes of Season 4.

UPDATED JUNE 2, 2009:
Tim Kring has revealed some details about Season 4 as part of NBC's Heroes All Access promotion. Here's what he had to say:

We’re all very excited about the next volume of Heroes(volume 5) called “REDEMPTION.” All of our characters, in way or another, return to their normal lives after the turmoil and tragedy of “FUGITIVES.”

One of the big issues we’ll be exploring is how should a person with abilities live his or her life. Should they try to assimilate by hiding their abilities, or should they live more honestly, exposing their powers to the world?

Claire will be at the forefront of that issue, starting college in Washington, D.C., and trying to discover, as all college kids do, who she really is. But re-adjusting to normal life won’t be easy, especially when Claire is caught in the crossfire of her parent’s divorce and a mysterious suicide on campus.

Meanwhile, Peter and Nathan are trying to get their lives back on track. Peter is trying to be a hero in the purest sense — saving one life at a time. But that means cutting himself off from friends and family. It’s only when Peter makes a romantic connection with a fascinating new “powerful” woman that he’ll find out that life means staying connected to others. Nathan is discovering new things about himself everyday, mostly due to the fact that he’s actually Sylar.

Matt will have to live with the guilt of what he did to Sylar; making his attempts to live a normal life with his wife and child virtually impossible.

Noah Bennet (HRG), with the help of Tracy Strauss, Angela Petrelli and all of our Heroes, is tasked with forming a new COMPANY. But that new organization won’t be concerned with conspiracies and prisons anymore. It will be about people. Finding them. Connecting to them. And figuring out why so many of them have been seduced by another “organization” out there that treats people with abilities in a fascinating, dangerous and potentially deadly new way.
