SPOILERY CASTING NEWS!

Here’s a tri-level scoop for Once Upon a Time fans, with each layer more intriguing then the last. Ready to go down the rabbit hole?

A talking caterpillar is coming to the show…

The talking caterpillar is going to be just one part of an Alice in Wonderland-themed episode. The title is “Hat Trick.” (You got that right? The Mad Hatter, of course… )

The talking caterpillar will be played by the Who’s rock legend Roger Daltrey in voice over. Once Upon executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz say the Who’s 1975 rock opera Tommy was “a huge inspiration for the show.”

The Alice in Wonderland episode will likely air in March. Sounds like this is one you don’t want to be late for.

Mmm. . .I think the casting could be good. But, Alice in Wonderland is not a fairy tale. So, I'm hoping they don't bring Alice and the other more well known characters in. Instead, maybe they can make a twist on the old 'girl finds herself in unusual land' story that's always been so popular.

They seem to do pretty well introducing characters in an interesting way. I get the impression that it may only be characters from the "magical" part of Alice in Wonderland.

Oh, this excites me greatly! I am a big Alice fan, so I was hoping to see it pop up somehow in OUAT. I hope there's a Cheshire Cat in it, he's been my favorite fictional character since babyhood!

I look forward to anything they do because they make it all so interesting. Plus, like you, I am a HUGE Alice fan so I'm really looking forward to it. I also love Cheshire Cat.

Wow....that is so cool! I read somewhere that OUAT was doing Alice in Wonderland. Should be interesting!

If they're doing Alice, does that mean the Wizard of Oz is fair game? Neither one of these is a proper fairy tale, but they obviously have fairy tale elements.

I hadn't thought of that. I love both Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz ( I read all the Baum Oz books as a child). I think there are certain fantasy elements from Oz they could incorporate.
