Finally we meet the cast of Disney’s first animated Marvel movie Big Hero 6 along with some official images. Previously we saw some unapproved character posters.
We already knew that that T.J. Miller, Jamie Chung, and Maya Rudolph all had roles, but Walt Disney Animation now confirms they will be joined by Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez, James Cromwell, Alan Tudyk, and Daniel Henney.
Check out the team below:
Honey Lemon (Genesis Rodriguez):
It’s elemental when it comes to chemistry whiz Honey Lemon. Don’t let her glasses and funky fashion fool you: 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. Her knowledge of alchemy proves powerful, too, when the effusive brainiac becomes part of the “Big Hero 6″ and creates clever concoctions that when thrown, can get her team out of nearly any jam.
Not pictured are Daniel Henney as Tadashi, Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass, James Cromwell as Professor Callaghan, and Alan Tudyk as Alistair Krei.
Here are their descriptions:
Tadashi Hamada (Daniel Henney): Tadashi is a good guy. He just is. He actually developed, built and programmed a state-of-the-art nursebot—a Healthcare Companion named Baymax that will likely help millions worldwide. But it’s his role as big brother that makes Tadashi truly special. Every kid needs a guy like Tadashi looking out for him, and Hiro knows just how lucky he is to have him in his life.
Aunt Cass (Maya Rudolph): Aunt Cass is the overworked but always-supportive guardian of brothers Hiro and Tadashi. The owner of a popular San Fransokyo bakery and coffee shop, Aunt Cass is proud, ebullient and thinks the world of her two genius nephews. She’s always good for a laugh and ready with a hug, tirelessly there for support and a great home-cooked meal.
Professor Robert Callaghan (James Cromwell): Professor Robert Callaghan heads up the robotics program at the prestigious San Fransokyo Institute of Technology and is Tadashi’s professor and mentor. When Hiro visits the university for the first time, he is star-struck by the world-renowned roboticist—while Callaghan immediately sees the potential in the 14-year-old prodigy, encouraging him to put his brain to better use.
Alistair Krei (Alan Tudyk): San Fransokyo Institute of Technology’s most illustrious alum and owner of the biggest technology company in the world, Krei Tech, is always on the hunt for the next big thing. Krei attends the showcase at San Fransokyo Tech and is overwhelmingly impressed by Hiro’s ingenuity.
Big Hero 6 is an action comedy adventure about brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion—a robot named Baymax—Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city.
The movie is directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams. The voice cast includes TJ Miller, Jamie Chung, Maya Rudolph, Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez, James Cromwell, Alan Tudyk, and Daniel Henney.
Big Hero 6 inspired by the Marvel comics of the same name and is set to hit theaters November 7th.
