Aladdin Coming To Once Upon A Time

At the Once Upon A Time panel at the San Diego Comic Con, a new sneak peek was revealed for the sixth season and that the series will be introducing some new Disney classic characters like Aladdin and Jafar to the smash hit series.  Aladdin will be played by Deniz Akdeniz and while Jafar has appeared in the spin-off Once Upon A Time In Wonderland, the part will be played by Oded Fehr due to the original actor appearing in another series.

Also during the panel, more details were revealed including:

Lana Parrilla said that Regina “will continue to be sassy and sarcastic” despite separating from the Evil Queen. Regina will bond more with Snow White and Emma Swan, and for the first time Parilla’s character has “a support system, while her other half is trying to kill everyone” per Horowitz. Swan will be divided between supporting Regina and “protecting everyone she loves,” said Jennifer Morrison.

In one episode there’s a shot of a wedding dress in a storefront near Emma Swan and Hook. Foreshadow to a wedding? Says Colin O’Donoghue, “It’s always been on the set; it’s always been there.” Horowitz revealed that as their love story gets deeper, we’ll learn about some of Hook’s deep dark secrets. Also as far as the bromance between Hook and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), “we get to see them together in a fun arc,” explained Horowitz.
