Once Upon a Time Season 2 will show more action from the first season's supporting cast, particularly Red Riding Hood and Belle. It has earlier been reported that Meghan Ory (Red/Ruby) and Emilie de Ravin (Belle) have been promoted to series regulars by the ABC show runners.

TVLine was first to show the Season 2 poster featuring next season's "Magic 7." Autographed copies of this poster await those who could make it to the San Diego Comic-Con next week, reports Matt Webb Mittovich.

What will happen to Henry now?

It would have been more interesting if Henry Mills (Jared Gilmore) was in the poster, too. After all, he was the one who brought Emma Swan to Storybrooke. He manned up at ten years old and left for Boston to get his mother. Pinocchio, who was "assigned" to the task, failed. Speaking of --

Will Pinocchio come back?

Set in the mystical woodlands, the foggy image in the poster suggests that magic is back. Seeing the main players in their costumes is exciting enough, but the fans are left to wonder why Pinocchio (Eion Bailey) and Henry are left behind.

One of the most anticipated scene in the first season finale is the reunion between Pinocchio and his father, now that everything will be remembered. Fans would like to see how Pinocchio would explain himself. This links to what happened to Emma Swan after she was left behind by Pinocchio as a baby.

No new character spoilers in poster

In an earlier interview for spoilers, show runners Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz said they are going to introduce more fairy tale characters into the mix. Why are they not in the poster, too?

The only possible explanations are: (1) casting has not been completed for next season, and (2) the new fairy tale characters may only be recurring characters like Cinderella and the Blue Fairy.
