Now that Nathan Petrelli is a true hero (a willingness to sacrifice yourself to save millions of lives pretty much guarantees you that status for life), fans are wondering if we'll see this redeemed character in season two.

All signs points point to yes.

Masi Oka and Adrian Pasdar (pictured) were in Canada at an event to promote Heroes' Canadian network Global's fall schedule earlier in the month. Naturally, the sheer presence of Pasdar should be enough to convince anyone that he will be present and accounted for in the next season of Heroes.

But cementing his place on the show even more, Pasdar later commented on what he thought of the story for season two.

"I feel good about the direction it's heading in, I think it's across the boards surprising for each character and for each audience member, whoever their favorite character is. It takes a wildly different arc then you might think. Season two is going to be a big surprise."

And what about the future of Ando. The last time we saw him, Hiro had transported his pal back to Japan. Fortunately, Oka told the crowd that Ando would definitely be returning.

"Hiro made a promise that he'll be back. Hiro is beginning his journey in the second season and he'll be by himself for a while, but I'm sure we'll see Ando in some context, so I wouldn't count it out."
