Freddie Prinze Jr has joined the cast for the American pilot of No Heroics, according to the Hollywood Reporter, where he will play Ultimatum, the powerful and successful superhero who torments the misfit, also-ran Z-list heroes who despise him but would love his success and powers. Interesting that THR doesn’t even mention the original UK No Heroics series, which I really wasn’t too sure about when it was first mooted but which turned out to be a highly enjoyable and cynical look at the flipside of superheroes; I wonder what the US take on it will be like. Life on Mars, the Office, now No Heroics, there does seem to be a bit of a mini-vogue for US networks to remake their own versions of successful UK shows recently.
