Check this trailer out ... the trailer for the upcoming season of Once Upon a Time! I've been waiting for them to do an Aladdin story from the beginning. They came close when they did Once Upon a Time in Wonderland with a mad cast of characters - Jafar was in love with the Queen of Hearts and so obviously he was in the storyline, but where was Aladdin? A big question I have is why didn't they cast the actor who portrayed him in Wonderland for this upcoming season? Why switch around actors? Maybe he was busy, but the Knave of Hearts/Will portrayed by Michael Socha was in both series, so why not Naveen Andrews? According to IMDB.com, Andrews is in Sense8 on Netflix, so maybe he was too busy to be recast as Jafar. Either way, I'm a stickler for changing actors. I always hated on General Hospital, or any soap opera for that matter, when actors were switched around. I know now that those actors got other roles, but still it messed with my emotions. I got used to Lucky as Jonathan Jackson and I liked that Lucky. Whoever came after was just not the same - and I know he reprised the role later on and I started watching again, but the show was never the same for me again.
But back to Once ... the upcoming season is looking good. I wonder what Jafar means by Aladdin being the savior. Is he like Emma? He obviously has some kind of magical powers because it looks like people come to him for help or to be healed. But who really knows. The trailer doesn't give too much away.
