Sebastian Stan discusses ‘Once Upon A Time’ Mad Hatter return: ‘Never say never’
Sebastian Stan has his hands full with his role of Bucky Barnes/the Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that doesn’t stop fans from clamoring to have him back on “Once Upon A Time.” His last appearance as The Mad Hatter was in the 2012 episode “The Doctor,” and he says a return likely won’t happen any time soon.
“It’s a hard question to sort of answer,” Stan tells Zap2it while promoting “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” “I really enjoy that character and I have a lot of fun, and I enjoyed both of the showrunners and everyone on the show. Never say never. It’s very possible. At the moment, it’s not really on my radar, but you never know. I remain a big fan of everybody there.”
He does think that there is story left to be told with that character, though he says that any questions about what storylines those could be should be directed to “OUAT” creators Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis.
“There’s so many possibilities there,” Stan says of The Mad Hatter. “One of the things those guys did so well — out of the many things — is they just reinvented all of those characters in a new way. They reintroduced them to a whole new generation. The Mad Hatter was never like that in just the cartoon. It remains to be seen.”
“Once Upon A Time” airs Sundays on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” hits theaters on April 4.

Kinda figured. Shame though. I like Jefferson
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Not surprising, though it’s nice to hear some talk about Jefferson from Seb for a change, instead of just A&E repeating for the frillionth time that they’d love him back if possible. Judging by Seb’s comments, it sounds like he’d be perfectly happy to come back and be Jefferson again if they asked.
Nice to read some comments from Sebastian about OUAT and while I would LOVE to see Jefferson back at some point, I totally understand why it doesn’t work right now (especially with the current stories on the show). I’m glad he hasn’t totally ruled it out though and that he still speaks highly of everyone there. 🙂
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI would actually like to see Jefferson featured as the final villain of OUAT, the entire season dedicated to him. Flashbacks could include what Sebastian Stan was doing all this time, and what he was going through while our heroes while battling Pan and Wicked, and even what happened to his now deceased wife.
His ultimate motive would obviously be to be reunited with his daughter, Grace, doing whatever it takes to accomplish that, driven by his now out-of-control insanity. And just to add a branch to the family tree, Grace and Henry could get together.
I don’t know about you, but I would love for this to happen!
