While fans have been early lapping up the spoilers for the second half of "Once Upon a Time" season 5, the first photo of Hades (Greg Germann) has been published and he looks suspiciously like the 1997 animated version voiced by James Woods in "Hercules."
Of course, it's not surprising because both are produced by Disney.
Just like the animated Hades, Germann's hair is lit blue. Probably, like the animated version, it will glow red when he becomes angry as well.
Germann described his character in an interview for Entertainment Weekly, as he said that he found Hades to be a "creative challenge."
"Anything goes," he explained. "The creators bring him to life on the page with the same out-of-the-box unpredictability that they bring to the rest of the show. They strike the perfect balance between keeping things grounded and letting things fly - sometimes literally."
Sounds much like the cartoon version.
Showrunner Edward Kitsis teased "Once Upon a Time" season 5 spoilers to EW as he said that Hades remains very dangerous.
"But that doesn't mean you can't have fun being the Devil," he said.
The 100th episode is one of the most anticipated as familiar faces will confront the main characters in their journey to the Underworld.
Among the returning characters are Peter Pan (Robbie Kay), Blind Witch (Emma Caufield), Dorothy (Teri Reeves), Milah (Rachel Shelley), Cora (Barbara Hershey), Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit), Prince Henry (Tony Perez), Sidney Glass (Giancarlo Esposito), Mulan (Jamie Chung) and Red Riding Hood (Meghan Ory).
"The hundredth episode for us - and the second half of the season - what we're really excited about is, we feel like we're going to be honoring the show by really giving you that season one feeling all over again," Kitsis told Variety.
"Once Upon a Time" season 5 airs on Sunday, Mar. 6, on ABC. Watch out for more spoilers before then.
