‘Once Upon a Time’ season 4 spoilers: Speculating on the role of Prince Hans

So what will Prince Hans bring to the world of “Once Upon a Time” season 4? We understand the interest in the character right now, and largely for one reason: The guy made a big impact in “Frozen.” He turned out to be the villain of the tale, who completely used Anna to get close to her, and claim a seat ruling Arendelle.

So will he be just as evil on the ABC series as he was in the film? It sure sounds like it. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, co-creator Edward Kitsis goes as far as to refer to this key character as a “sociopath,” while fellow creator Adam Horowitz adds the following about whether or not Hans had something to do with Elsa being imprisoned in a way that ties back to Rumpelstiltskin:

“That’s one of the mysteries that we intend to unfurl … [Hans also] still feels the weight of being the youngest of 12 brothers, and there’s a very good chance of seeing some of those 12 brothers.”

It is also still very much possible that Hans is not the only villain we see from the “Frozen” world, given that there is still the super-mysterious character played by Elizabeth Mitchell out there that needs to be dealt with. It’s possible that she turned out to be one of the good guys, but that is at the moment very far from being confirmed.

The new “Once Upon a Time” season premieres on September 28, and we’ll have more news before then!
