Von Rothbart (Swan Lake)

Jadis, the White Witch (Chronicals of Narnia)

Dr. Facilier (The Princess and The Frog)

Judge Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

Although I'm honestly fine with any new character(s). Von Rothbart - unlikely.

I have a theory that Lucy's mother is Odette, therefore making him very likely.

Jadis - they don't have the rights to Chronicles of Narnia so no.

We don't know what they may have secured rights for, it's not like they are going to make an announcement that they got rights for something.

Facilier - maybe but he's just in debt to the Friends on the Other Side which makes him lose his villain appeal.

Once doesn't have to do a straight adaptation from the movie.

Frollo - very unlikely due to the nature and darkness of the character.

Once is technically for teens and adults, so if he's dark, that's actually good. Answers in bold above. They don't have the rights. The next film in the seires is being prepared to be made either this ear or next year. In April of 2017 it was announced that  Joe Johnston had been hired to direct  The Silver Chair. So no Narnia for OUAT. I seriously doubt Frollo will show up due to the religious and mature nature of the character and work he's from. Both the original book and Disney movie are extremely dark compared to other movies Disney's made either during the that period or after or even immediately before. Fair enough for Narnia. But it doesn't matter that Hunchback is dark, as I said, this show is technically for teens and adults, dark is fine. I mean they have had multiple pieces of horror fiction on the show already. I don't see Frollo showing up as he used his religious beliefs to gain power, commit murder and attempt a purge of another group of people in Paris which might upset viewers especially considering what's happening today. It's always happened but's particularly relevant right now in some parts of the world. Also the Fairies bering nuns is due to curse and has no bearing on their actual religious beliefs assuming they have any. That's the thing though, Once can adapt Frollo however they want. They haven't stuck strictly to the source material with anything, so I don't see why they would with Frollo. He doesn't even have to be a priest, he can just be a judge. The important part of the story is that he takes care of Quazimoto, yet tells him he is ugly and deformed and needs to stay hidden. And honestly, if we censored fiction, because it might upset someone, we'd have no plots left. Something is always going to upset someone, you can't please everybody. True but I still doubt they'll use Frollo especially if this is to be the final season. As for adaptating him, yeah they can change it however they want like they did with Tiger Lily which I'd be fine with but I don't beleieve for a second that the change with Tiger Lily wasn't at least partially because of her native american heritage and culture and the way some previous portrayals have handled it and I've no doubt it would play into Frollo when came to religion. I think it might be better to use the religious side of Frollo like in the Disney version as it's one of the things that made his character so fascinating(at least to me) could be used to demostrate why using it for such horrible purposes is wrong. But then again maybe not. Ultimately regardless of reasons for having Frollo show up or not I don't think we'll see him.
