Disney and Marvel have teamed up to bring you the studio’s first animated big screen adaption of a Marvel property and we finally have the official voice cast for the film. In Big Hero 6, Ryan Potter (Supah Ninjas) voices Hiro, a robotics prodigy, along with Scott Adsit (30 Rock) voicing his robotic companion, Baymax. T.J. Miller (Silicon Valley) plays Fred, a comic book fanboy whose alter-ego is a fire breathing, Godzilla-like creature. Jamie Chung (Once Upon A time) voices Go Go Tomago, the group’s adrenaline junkie, while Genesis Rodriguez (Entourage) plays the happy go lucky chemist/barista Honey Lemon.
Rounding off the cast is Damon Wayans Jr. (New Girl), who describes his character as a reluctant hero:
Reluctant heroes aren’t too big in America. Spider-Man loves being Spider-Man. They all like being cool. He doesn’t like being cool,
Here’s the breakdown for all the characters in Big Hero 6:
Robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada has the mind of a genius, and the heart of a 14-year-old: his state-of-the-art battle-bots dominate the underground bot fights held in the dark corners of San Fransokyo. Fortunately, big brother Tadashi redirects Hiro's brilliance, inspiring him to put his brain to the test in a quest to gain admission to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. When a tragic event changes everything, Hiro turns to a robot named Baymax, and they form an unbreakable bond-and two-sixths of a band of high-tech heroes on a very important mission.
Baymax cares. That's what he was designed to do. The plus-sized inflatable robot's job title is technically Healthcare Companion: With a simple scan, Baymax can detect vital stats, and, given a patient's level of pain, can treat nearly any ailment. Conceived and built by Tadashi Hamada, Baymax just might revolutionize the healthcare industry. But to the inventor's kid brother Hiro, the nurturing, guileless bot turns out to be more than what he was built for-he's a hero, and quite possibly Hiro's closest friend. And after some deft reprogramming that includes a rocket fist, super strength and rocket thrusters that allow him to fly, Baymax becomes one of the Big Hero 6.
Fanboy Fred comes off like a laid-back dude with no direction. But this sign-twirling, monster-loving, comic-book aficionado is sure to go places-when he's good and ready. For example, Fred doesn't hesitate to join "Big Hero 6," and he has a lot of ideas for his super-hero skillset, too. His ferocious, fire-breathing alter ego comes complete with claws, integrated communications and a super bounce. But his sign-spinning may still come in handy.
Aptly named Go Go Tomago knows what it takes to be fast. She's tough, athletic and loyal to the bone, but not much of a conversationalist. Popping bubble gum and delivering well-placed sarcasm are totally her speed. The daredevil adrenaline junkie is at her best on wheels, and when Go Go joins forces with Big Hero 6, she rolls like never before, using maglev discs as wheels, shields and throwing weapons.
Wasabi is committed to precision. He's super smart and just a touch neurotic, but the big and burly beatnik can't help but join the cause when Hiro needs him most. As part of "Big Hero 6," Wasabi amplifies his martial arts skills with jaw-dropping plasma blade weaponry. Sharp doesn't even begin to describe this guy.
Honey may be as sweet as her namesake, but she has a fire in her belly and a can-do attitude that make her pretty much unstoppable.
Rounding out the cast we have Maya Rudolph (SNL, Portlandia) as Hiro’s guardian Aunt Cass, James Cromwell (Babe, 24) voices Professor Callaghan, Alan Tudyk (Frozen) as Alistair Krei, and Daniel Henney plays Hiro's brother Tadashi.
Big Hero 6 premieres November 7, 2014.
