Don Hall, one of the co-directors behind the Disney-Marvel hit film Big Hero 6, recently spoke about the potential for revisiting the beloved world of San Fransokyo and its endearing band of heroes. Big Hero 6, released in 2014, emerged as a surprising gem after Disney’s acquisition of Marvel, blending Disney’s storytelling prowess with Marvel’s comic book superhero universe.
The film’s narrative revolves around a 13-year-old prodigy named Hiro Hamada, who, following the tragic death of his older brother Tadashi, assembles a team of heroes comprising his healthcare companion robot, Baymax, and four of his older friends. Together, they form a superhero squad to combat a menacing supervillain. Since the movie’s release, fans have eagerly speculated about the possibility of a sequel, but any concrete developments remained elusive.
In a recent interview with ComicBook, Don Hall was asked about the prospect of returning to the vibrant San Fransokyo setting for a Big Hero 6 sequel. The franchise has already expanded with two spin-off productions: a successful three-season television series on the Disney Channel and a miniseries titled Baymax! exclusively on Disney+. Both of these spin-offs have garnered dedicated audiences, which would seemingly warrant a sequel. However, Hall’s response may disappoint eager fans:
“No no… I’ve had my hands full with [Strange World], we literally just finished it. I’m looking forward to taking a little break and letting my brainy brain rest. So no, there’s been no discussions about that.”
Despite the discouraging response, it’s worth noting that Disney still views Big Hero 6 as one of its prominent franchises. While a film sequel may not be imminent, the company appears determined to explore other avenues to revisit the beloved characters. Disney+ has become a fertile ground for revisiting established franchises, as demonstrated by shows like Zootopia+ and the upcoming Tiana and Moana: The Series. Given the positive reception of these series, it seems increasingly likely that audiences will have the opportunity to explore the world of Big Hero 6 once more, even if it’s not through a traditional film sequel. The potential for further expanding the story and characters through television series content is promising, especially if it maintains a high-quality standard and engaging storytelling.
Interestingly, the inception of the Big Hero 6 film itself stemmed from Don Hall’s encounter with the eponymous superhero team while perusing a list of Marvel titles. Following the film’s success, discussions regarding a sequel surfaced, with Hall and his co-director Chris Williams expressing their interest. The original voice cast also expressed their enthusiasm for reprising their roles, and the late Stan Lee, who made a cameo appearance in the film, hinted at Marvel’s interest in developing a sequel.
In conclusion, while a Big Hero 6 sequel may not be on the immediate horizon, Disney remains committed to exploring various avenues to expand and enrich the universe of this beloved animated franchise.
