Kristen Bell on Heroes…?

Veronica Mars‘ Kristen Bell is scheduled to join the cast of Heroes for a multi-episode arc.  She will play Elle,

“a sexy, intriguing, mysterious young lady who has ties to Peter’s apparent death, H.R.G.’s past, and Claire’s future. When fans first meet Elle in October, she will commit a terrible crime, but as always with ‘Heroes,’ it will be unclear whose side she is really on,”

according to NBC’s Monday press release.

According to the creators, working around Bell’s schedule was difficult, but with the show having several characters and several arcs going on at all times, they managed to pull it off. 

Bell will also do a narrative voiceover for the CW’s fall drama Gossip Girl, and can be seen in three upcoming movies in 2008.

Our little Veronica Mars is growing up.  No longer will she play a role nearly ten years younger than she actually is.  Bell, 27, will be seen in sexier, more adult roles in the future.  And we can only hope to see her back in her own starring series.
