- Will Scarlet is based on the character of the same name from the Robin Hood ballads.
- He is also based on the Knave of Hearts from the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the animated Disney film Alice in Wonderland; and the Knave of Hearts from the live-action Disney film Alice in Wonderland.
- He also takes the place of the White King from Through the Looking-Glass.
- He is an allusion to the Baker from the direct-to-video Disney sequel Cinderella II: Dreams Come True.
- The casting call of the spinoff series describes him as, "a sardonic adventurer, a man of action, loner and heartbreaker -- the proverbial rolling stone. His swagger isn't quite enough to disguise the fact that he is unswervingly loyal and possessed of a strong moral code."
- After exiting Once Upon a Time in the fourth season, Michael Socha noted he "was quite redundant in Once Upon a Time. I wasn't really used." He also added that the writers apologized for not utilizing his character, saying "they just said that they couldn't do it".
