‘Once Upon a Time’ season 3 spoilers: At least one new Neverland face

When you’re going to a new world like Neverland, there really has to be one thing you expect to see in the process: New people! This is where this “Once Upon a Time” season 3 story ends up coming into the picture. When Captain Hook, Emma, Regina, and more all travel to the land of Pan (as we like to call it, since it almost rhymes), they’re going to meet more than just Peter Pan.

According to SpoilerTV, the show is currently casting the following two roles;

Rubio – This is a young boy in his teens, and is thus one of the more mischievous members of the Lost Boys.

Thief – Yep, that’s the name this character is going by right now. He’s in his thirties, and will become notable on the show for taking some magic away from Rumpelstiltskin in order to protect someone he cares about very deeply. This sounds pretty similar to Robin Hood, but don’t assume it’s just the same role being recast (mostly because Adam Horowitz and company have been so hesitant to do so with some folks in the past). Plus, Tom Ellis could even be available, given that his show “Gothica” was not picked up by ABC.

Both of these characters are going to be a part of the season premiere (which is still tragically without a date), and they will recur in the weeks that follow.

Horowitz and fellow executive producer Edward Kitsis are pretty busy guys right now. Not only are they working hard on this show, but there’s also “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” coming up. Did you miss the first trailer for that? If so, you can view it here.
