Another key Little Mermaid character is heading to ABC’s Once Upon a Time. Ernie Hudson has been cast as King Poseidon in episode 15 of the fairytale drama’s current fourth season. In a twist, in addition to being the the powerful deity of legend, in the Once Upon a Time world, we will also discover that Poseidon is the father of the villainous Ursula, played by Merrin Dungey. The two will be joined by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, who will be reprising her role as Ariel.
[adrotate group="5"]Just to clarify, Poseidon and Triton are not one in the same. In both Greek Mythology and in the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid, Poseidon is Triton’s father. However, this could mean Triton and Ursula are siblings like the Broadway version, too.
It's true: Thx Deadline Hollywood for the solid break today#OnceUponATime #KingPoseidon #ABC http://t.co/0gXvsLh03W

They could be combining Triton and Poseidon, but I’m not sure why they would since Triton is more well known from TLM.
At any rate, I think Triton and Ursula are going to be siblings.

Since we’re likely getting flashbacks of a Young Ursula according to that casting call for 415 (congrats on calling it), which is also the same episode Poseidon is slated to appear in, it makes sense for it to be Poseidon.
Anyway, since 413 seems to be an ensemble centric, 414 is Maleficent centric, and 415 is Ursula centric, I’m going to guess 416 will be the Cruella centric.
Seems like there’s foreshadowing to Poseidon back in episodes 401 and 409. Poseidon’s Boneyard is where Anna and Elsa’s parents met their end, and where Hans and Blackbeard attempted to kill Anna and Kristoff.
Poseidon is Ursula’s father. I’m calling it!
Edit: And of course I posted without reading the full spoiler. Lol.
Loving this! Partially because I love Ursula and TLM and cant wait to see it expanded more on OUAT, partially because I am so happy to see more POC’s….and partially because I am interested in seeing a mermen :3 Let’s go Poseidon! Hopefuly we see King Triton as well 😛

He’s done other stuff since then, but it’s just funny to me, Winston from the Ghosterbusters movies is going to be Poseidon. I seriously wonder what other 80s connection Once is going to have.
