"Once Upon A Time" season 4 will introduce new villains to spice up its fans' viewing pleasure. As if The Evil Queen, Maleficent and the Snow Queen aren't enough, there will be two famous Disney villains coming to Storybrooke. They are none other than Cruella De Vil from "101 Dalmatians" and Ursula from "The Little Mermaid." 

There have been rumors in the past about the inclusion of these two villains in the ABC show, but it is only now that their presence has been confirmed. And what better way to confirm than seeing photos of them on the set. 

Before, Victoria Smurfit, who plays Cruella DeVil, posted a tweet confirming that she will join "Once Upon A Time" but she deleted the tweet immediately. ABC is keeping things under wraps about Cruella as well, but TV Line was able to report that Smurfit was spotted with a Dalmatian puppy on the set of "OUAT." She was filming with Emilie de Ravin's character Belle. 

A bit after TV Line's revelation, a tweet from Smurfit surfaced that she will indeed be playing Cruella, saying, "super excited about playing Cruella for such an iconic show as @OnceABC." 

What about the other villain, Ursula? If fans would go back to season 3 when The Little Mermaid was part of the story, there was mention of Ursula. But that was as far as it went. No Ursula was seen.  Instead, The Evil Queen Regina impersonated the sea monstress. 

Now, Ursula comes to life and has set her eyes on Regina. She makes it clear that no one must dare impersonate her, nor mess with her through the magic mirror. 

Ursula says, "Next time you claim to be me, you'll find out just how real I am." 

Merrin Dungey plays the role of Ursula, but just like Victoria's character, both villains are kept mysterious. But if there's one exciting thing fans should know, it is that Ursula and Cruella DeVil will team up with Kristin Bauer van Straten's Maleficent, says Entertainment Weekly. Now that's a trio of Disney villains to wait for this season.
