Elizabeth Mitchell is heading to Once Upon a Time. E! News has confirmed the Lost and Revolution star will guest star on ABC's fairy-tale drama in season four. Mitchell's character may be a villain and will have ties to the Frozen characters Once Upon a Time is bringing in for the upcoming fourth season.

Once Upon a Time previously announced its Frozen actors: Elizabeth Lail will play Anna, Scott Michael Foster will take on the role of Kristof and Georgina Haig of Fringe fame will play Elsa. The events of the popular Disney movie will have already happened when the Frozen characters pop up on Once Upon a Time.

Entertainment Weekly first reported Mitchell's casting.

"Well, it's funny, we're not going to redo the movie, because we just don't feel like it's in anyone's interest for us to redo it," Once Upon a Time co-creator Adam Horowitz told E! News after the finale. "But what we are going to do, we're not ready to tell you. But what we can say is we're very aware of what we think makes this character from Frozen so special and we want to honor that and make sure that what we do is in the universe of everyone fell in love with this past year."

Once Upon a Time teased Elsa's arrival in the season three finale.

Are you excited Elizabeth Mitchell is making her way to Storybrooke? Who do you think she's playing? Anna and Elsa's mother?
