Something is going down, but we won’t find out exactly what it is until Friday. See, the official Twitter feed of the hit ABC show Once Upon a Time sent this out today:

No biggie, right? Just a teaser for a new storyline on everyone’s favorite fractured fairy tale show.
Except as people quickly noticed, there’s a Marvel logo in the bottom-left corner of that teaser image. And Marvel isn’t generally involved with the show, so …
Hypable has two theories, one of which is more intriguing than the other. The less exciting option is that there are going to be more Once Upon a Time tie-in comics, like the one Marvel did a few years ago.
Much more interesting would be if Asgard and some characters from the world of Thor got tangled up in the show somehow — and Hypable reminds us that Asgard has already been mentioned once before. Still, the Marvel Cinematic Universe view of Asgard owes more to sci-fi than mythology, so that seems like an unlikely pairing.
Allow me to throw out the completely bat guano-crazy alternative: a crossover with Agents of SHIELD. Think about it. Hydra gets its tentacles on a device that can either bring stories from books to life, or open portals to other worlds where fairy tales are real. Coulson and his team have to … okay, I’ll stop now.
Jokes aside, my gut tells me this is either going to be something huge or no big deal at all, with nothing in-between. We’ll see at the end of the week.
