'Once Upon a Time' Season 4 Spoilers: Maleficent Front And Center In Promotional Poster For 'Queens of Darkness' [VIDEO]
A new promotional poster for season 4B of ABC's Once Upon a Time has been released, highlighting the three Queens of Darkness.
As with past posters for Once Upon a Time, the new one features the newest elements of a particular season. In this case, the three villains are shown in extreme closeup, with Maleficent (Kristin Bauer van Straten) front and center and Ursula (Merrin Dungey) and Cruella de Vil (Victoria Smurfit) on either side of her.
In case fans didn't know, the three villains' names are placed directly above them, in addition to "QUEENS OF DARKNESS" in big bold letters.

It is no surprise that Maleficent is so prominent on the poster, considering she is often consider to be the leader of all Disney villains in other projects. There's also the Maleficent movie starring Angelina Jolie that came out in 2014 that became one of the highest grossing movies of the year.
As such, Maleficent has received a bit of a makeover with the traditional black horns, which was first seen in the winter finale of Once Upon a Time back in December.
Once Upon a Time returns for the second half of season 4 on Sunday, March 1 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
