I can't remember if Hamlet is the name of the kingdom or of Simba's counterpart, but since both Camelot and the kingdom in Hamlet originate from England, I could see Claudius being Arthur's brother and having magic, essentially replacing Morgana Le Fay (as much as I love the lady villains, we've only gotten five male villains in the franchise, one of which is dead, three of which are out of action for now and one which is redeemed).

I also hope for Hades in a Greek mythology arc. Hades can theoretically take the souls of the deceased and bring them back to the world of the living, so he could use Neal, Graham, Cora, Eva and Ruth to mess with Rumple, Emma, Regina, Snow and Charming respectively, leaving Henry to find a way to reverse the magic and free their souls from Hades.

And then obviously Dr. Facilier 'cause we need more people of color and he's an epic villain. I don't even want the rest of the Princess and the Frog characters, I just want him. Kinda like how only Cruella came over from 101 Dalmatians (Pongo is like irrelevant 99% of the time). Actually, Hamlet is the name of Simba's counterpart and the play is set in Denmark, not England. ;) Oh. Thanks for clearing that up! :D But yeah, I feel like the Arthurian legends would fit perfectly with Hamlet/The Lion King.
