THEY WANT A MAD HATTER SPIN OFF but they want to recast. Would you watch it ???
.
.[adrotate group="5"]Recast the Mad Hatter? Sebastian Stan was perfect in the role. As for a spin off…I love Alice in Wonderland but this sounds a little weird since ABC passed on the recent idea for the Wonderland pilot that was pitched (supposedly because of OUaT)…NBC ordered the pilot…I was hoping it would turn out good so they would pick it up for next season…Alice is supposed to be the evil queen in their version.

Look at this picture of him. The way he sits, his facial expression, his eyes, everything. No one can do this anywhere near as good as him. If this new actor did try to do this, it would all seem fake, it wouldn’t seem natural which is how Sebastian portrays him.

The only way they can make this work is if they get somebody who has successfully played the Hatter before, and I’m sure they won’t be able to afford Johnny Depp.
Recasting Jefferson is out of the question. Sebastian Stan is perfect in the role, and I’m afraid nobody else can do the role justice.
In one word: NO.
Any word on is Sebastien Stan is ever coming back?? I know he’s insanely busy but he was the perfect Hatter."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"According to this article… http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/once-a-time-mad-hatter-423603
they will apparently be recasting him for OUAT later this season as well due to conflicting schedules. To say I’m heartbroken is an understatement, I love Sebastian Stan as the Mad Hatter. He’s by far my favorite version other than Andrew Lee Potts and I seriously doubt they’d bring him in since he played it in Syfy’s mini-series of Alice.Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
I’m really upset about this news. If Sebastain Stan can’t return, then write the Mad Hatter out. I can pretend he’s living with Grace in his too large house and if we never find out about Alice and Wonderland than so be it. I don’t want other actor!

At the moment I pretty much feel the same way. I can’t imagine it working with anybody else (although I generally trust the casting department). I have a feeling that if they really feel the need to recast him it’s either a) they realllly want a spin-off to work but that would probably only work with SS, otherwise people will be too upset, or b) they really need him for some important part of the storyline and figured while they’re at it, try something else.
I would eventually like to see more of Jefferson’s storyline as there are a lot of loose threads but I always hoped he would pop back in when his schedule is a bit more free…like next year sometime maybe. This big move really surprises me.
Hopefully their casting department does an amazing job so that after SEEING it we’re at least torn, whereas right now pretty much everybody will hate the idea. I feel for whoever takes the role after seeing such backlash before they’ve been given a shot. Just hard to imagine anybody else as Jefferson right now.
