The Dark Swan Shall Rise. The Once Upon a Time panel at San Diego Comic-Con is underway with a screening of The Dark Swan trailer and a Q&A with cast Jennifer Morrison, Lana Parrilla, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Emilie de Ravin, Colin O’Donoghue, Robert Carlyle, Rebecca Mader and Sean Maguire as well as showrunners Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.
Once Upon a Time’s Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrsion) sacrificed herself in the season four finale to become the Dark One. What happens when a saviour goes dark?
She had to make a split-second decision to sacrifice herself & save the town. @jenmorrisonlive #OnceAUponATime #SDCC pic.twitter.com/O74LMzHCTT

How bad will she get? Pretty Darn Bad.
They said you were a monster…
Only on the inside.
She crushes his heart.
Those who love Emma will spend the early part of the season trying to bring her back to the light. Apparently, that will involve finding the great sorcerer Merlin (Elliot Knight) in the court of Camelot with King Arthur (Liam Garrigan), Lancelot (Sinqua Walls) and Guinevere (Joana Metrass). Where is Camelot? In the Enchanted Forest.
Back in Storybrooke, Zelena (Rebecca Mader) is pregnant with Robin Hood (Sean Maguire)’s child but he still loves Regina.
Haha! @bexmader‘s reaction to @sean_m_maguire saying Regina his true love. #OnceUponATime #SDCC pic.twitter.com/pCtBy8lHfY

The former Dark One — Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) — will be pretty inactive at first because he’s in a coma.
