But I doubt Maleficent will even be partially adapted, since A&E were asked about it some months ago after Kristin's return was announced and they said they were doing something different. That is right.... Sebastian Roche is known for playing shady, and villainous characters. There is no way OUaT's King Stefan, is going to be that respectable man from the animated film. He does not have to cut off Maleficent's wings on the show.... heck, was it ever confirmed if she was a fairy? Having Maleficent and King Stefan as ex-lovers, would not be ripping off the Angelina Jolie film. As Regina's line in 1.02 implied, that Maleficent's heart was broken by someone.

Aurora had to learn how to be shady, from someone.... who better than her daddy dearest?
