As the countdown to season 3 gets closer to September 29, we are excited and curious for what is to come! We’ve met so many characters in the past 2 seasons: some fairy tale, some literary, and some mythological. Now, the question is: who will we meet? Here’s our little take on who we would like to see!
- Aladdin/Jasmine – Sidney Glass/Genie has gone off to fight for and against the Monroe Republic in Revolution, so we may not be seeing him soon. However, I’d love to see where this whimsical couple’s story plays into Once Upon a Time. Could one of the doors in Jefferson’s hat have led to the land of Arabian Nights?
- Ariel – This redhead has been so elusive, probably looking for dinglehoppers and snarfblats. Regina’s dropped hints to us before, so they should stop teasing us and introduce her when we meet the mermaids in Neverland.
- Arthur/Merlin – We’ve met Lancelot, and though I don’t believe he is dead (CORA LIES), I’d love to see his backstory. It would be great to see the Once and Future King and how his kingdom.
- Dracula – I can see the writers connecting Frankenstein and Dracula world. It seems a little weird to create an entire separate world for just one literary character.
- Emperor (from The Emperor’s New Clothes) – A narcissist character would have very interesting interactions with Regina, Rumple and/or Hook.
- Hercules or any Greek/Roman heroes – King Midas is the only character we’ve seen so far from the Greek myths, which tells us they’re not afraid of bringing those stories into the Once world.
- Jafar – Once writers have done a great job at giving villains a sympathetic background, so I’d love to see what they have to say about Jafar.
- Oliver Twist – Maybe he was one of the boys that Peter Pan kidnapped!
- Perdita – Seems like they didn’t unite EVERYONE after the curse was lifted. They have a family too!
- Pocahontas/Rapunzel/Tiana – I just want to see all the Disney Princesses unite and take on the villains together.
- Puss in Boots – I’d like to know the reasoning to why he only wears boots.
- Shang – There’s been too much focus on the Mulan/Philip relationship. They just need to bring Shang in and let Mulan have some kind of happiness.
- Sherlock Holmes/ Watson – There may be too many other shows and movies to bring these characters in, but considering how complex Once is, it’d be nice to see their spin on Sherlock’s character.
- Three Little Pigs – There doesn’t need to be any kind of storyline, but I just want to know who they are in Storybrooke. What kind of houses did they live in? Are they friends with Red/Ruby?w
- The Three Musketeers/ D’Artagnan – All for one and one for all! With unfaltering loyalty and great swordsmanship, hey would definitely make great companions.
- Thumbelina – Maybe her curse was to be gigantic.
- Tinkerbell – They are giving Peter Pan a darker spin, from the glimpses of Neverland that we’ve seen, so will his fairy counterpart be the same?
- The Wizard of Oz – They’ve hinted Oz many times, but when will we actually visit Oz?! This season may have too much packed into it already to visit another land, but you never know.
Whoever we see, the much anticipated season 3 is upon us. Let the magic continue!
