Big things are coming this season to ABC’s fairytale drama
Once Upon a Time as former
Lost
star Jorge Garcia rumbles into Storybrooke as The Giant, of Jack
and the Beanstalk fame.
Not much is known about Garcia’s big new role or who he’ll end up
allying himself with, but the
Lost alum will most
likely appear in a multi-episode story arc.
Garcia is perhaps best known for his fan-favorite role as Hugo
“Hurley” Reyes on ABC’s hit mystery drama
Lost. Garcia
will reunite with fellow Losties Emilie de Ravin (Belle) – who has
been promoted to a series regular this season – Alan Dale (King
George and chief prosecutor Albert Spencer), and
Once Upon a Time
creators Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who wrote all the
Hurley-centric episodes of
Lost.

Things are going to change in the little town
where time stood still due to the Evil Queen Regina’s (Lana
Parrilla) wicked curse. In another
Lost-esque nod, a wave
of thick purple smoke surged through Storybrooke in the season 1
finale when Emma Swan (
Jennifer Morrison) finally
fulfilled her destiny by shattering Regina’s evil curse, restoring
the resident’s former fairytale identities and setting the the ball
rolling for magic to enter our world.
The Giant is not the only huge character rolling in for season 2.
As previously announced,
Irish actor Colin O’Donoghue (
The Rite) has
snagged the villainous role of Captain Hook. Meanwhile, former
True Blood star
Michael Raymond-James will be playing a “mysterious new character”
that many fans have speculated to be Baelfire, Rumpelstiltskin’s
long-lost son who fell into a portal from the fairytale world (and
presumably to our reality).
If Captain Hook and The Giant weren’t enough, this season will be
pulling out all the story book stops by adding a bunch of new
characters including Mulan (Jamie Chung), Lancelot (Sinqua Walls),
Sleeping Beauty (Sarah Bolger) Prince Phillip (Julian Morris) along
with the confirmed Aladdin, Jafar and Ariel, whose casting is
currently unknown.
