Elsa cast
Once Upon a Time casts Georgina Haig (Fringe) as the Queen of Arendale, Elsa. The story surrounding these characters will take place post-Frozen with Elsa keeping her powers in check through the love and bond she has with her sister, Anna. However she is still very aware of how much of a threat she can be if she loses control again. Once Upon A Time co-creator, Adam Horowitz:
We are very well aware of how beloved [Frozen] is, so we’re very careful that we want to tell a story that is uniquely ours but also honors those characters that everyone fell in love with this past year.
Eddy Kitsis:
The thing we love about Elsa is she is perceived to be a villain but is clearly misunderstood, and that goes to the heart of our show.
Elsa first look
E! online reveals a first look at Georgina Haig as Elsa in the upcoming season of Once Upon A Time. In the two photos, Haig is wearing the trademark blue dress of the Ice Queen. Of her new blond look, Georgina wrote
Ahhhh blonde hair- sometimes I think you look quite nice, other times like village of the damned high school reunion.
