The cast and creators of Once Upon a Time hit the stage at San Diego Comic Con and had all kinds of fun things to share about season 5.
1. Yvette Nicole Brown
A good panel needs a good host and it’s clear that Yvette Nicole Brown is a huge fan of the show. That passion, and quips like, “That Will thing, it’s rebound love, it’s not gonna last,” just prove that she’s the perfect woman for the job. We certainly hope she comes back next year and keeps this group on their toes once again.
2. Merida is coming to Storybrooke
The very last thing we got from the Once Upon a Time creators was a wordless video that showed Merida, who you know from Brave, is one fierce lady. We don’t know anything about how her character will be fitting into the chaos that is Dark Swan, but we’re excited to see how they plan to use her in season 5.
3. The nameplate switching
Colin was Jennifer Morrison, Josh was Adam Horowitz and the poor camera operator just couldn’t keep it straight. A lot of hijinks ensued. It just goes to show how much this cast truly admires one another and that the goofing off just can’t stay off set, it trickles into events like Comic-Con and proves their bond.
4. The video: Why they stayed
Jane Espensen wrote and produced a lovely video full of laughs that included Storybrooke’s resident tax attorney and dry cleaner. Jokes ensued. It was just an adorable little nod at how even those in charge of the show realize that in reality, the craziness of Storybrooke would drive anyone who could leave to do so.
5. Camelot is its own entity
It sounds like the inclusion of Camelot will exist completely separately from any specific timeline. It was explained to be in a parallel universe, so it’s existed “long ago, short ago, present to go, and maybe in the future.”
6. Fan asks Jen to try Colin’s accent
Colin was over the moon to hear Jen try and duplicate his real life accent. The fan pointed out that Colin does a lot of work to affect different accent for the show, and that it would just be fair that Jennifer take a shot at his. She had a noble go at it, but Colin didn’t let her flounder for too long without coming to her rescue.
7. Footage of Emma as Dark Swan
Watching Emma Swan pull out her first heart and crush it into powder right before our very eyes was the perfect way to tease Emma’s descent into darkness. We know we’re anxious to see her at her worst, especially since she has been such a beacon of light and hope for 4 seasons now, so seeing her locked in that infamous cell and the evil just oozing out of her every pore is absolutely spellbinding.
