In the second half of Once Upon a Time season 3, Captain Hook (Colin O'Donoghue) might meet his nemesis in the form of another famous pirate.

Once Upon a Time producers are casting for Blackbeard, the legendary pirate who has been referred to in literary works like Treasure Island, according to a new report by TVLine. Blackbeard will only be featured on Once Upon a Time in one episode, and the report speculates that he might do something particular dastardly to Hook.

The report also reveals that viewers will see the first interaction of Belle (Emilie de Ravin) and Lumiere (guest star Henri Lubatti), the famous candelabra from Beauty and the Beast.

Once Upon a Time co-creator Adam Horowitz told TVLine that Belle and Lumiere's meeting will somehow be related to the time when Belle stayed with Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle).

[UPDATE] The TVLine report does not specifically state that Belle and Lumiere's meeting is related. Horowitz was responding to a question about Belle and Lumiere's meeting being related to her stay with Rumplestiltskin and said that the answer is a spoiler.
