An extended preview of Heroes Reborn includes a whole new generation of super-humans and a threat of ass-kicking from Masi Oka.

The minute-long teaser blends footage of familiar faces like telepathic cop Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) and the powerful Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), while introducing some new characters.

Fan favourite Hiro Nakamura (Oka) arrives in the clip's final seconds, asking: "What? Surprised to see me?"

The 13-episode miniseries from writer Tim Kring takes place at a time when the world needs its heroes more than ever.
