“Once Upon a Time” traveled to the D23 Expo on Saturday and gave fans a new look at a newcomer to its fairytale drama – Merida.
ABC released a pic of Amy Manson as Merida (from “Brave”), a character that is joining the “Once” world for Season 5.

“Amy Manson who plays her is fantastic,” fellow Executive Producer Adam Horowitz added.
During the panel, fans also got to see the first minute of Season 5 of “Once Upon a Time,” and it picks up exactly where it left off in the Season 4 finale, with Emma Swan gone, and the dagger with her name on it on the ground.

After a few quips from Regina, Hook walks up and picks up the dagger and tries to command Emma to return.
“Dark one, with this dagger, I command thee, return,” he says, as Henry, Mary Margaret/Snow and Charming/David stand and watch, clearly distraught over the event that took Emma away.
Emma, though, doesn’t return, so Hook tries to summon her again.

“Put that thing down before you hurt yourself, guyliner,” Regina tells Hook.
Hook suggests he should be able to bring her back if she is in the world, but Regina makes a big realization.
“She’s not in this world,” she says.
“Once Upon a Time” returns September 27 at 8/7c on ABC.
