It is a week of Disney movie sequel confirmations — and rumors, too, apparently. After the announcement that "Frozen 2" is in the offing come reports about a sequel to "Big Hero 6," the Oscar-winning action-packed comedy-adventure which follows the adorable friendship between Hiro and a lovable robot named Baymax.
"There's rumblings of something else happening," actress Genesis Rodriguez, who played Honey Lemon in the first film, told Screen Rant. "I mean yesterday I just saw that it's the third most grossing Disney animated feature so this is huge for them. I doubt that they wouldn't want to do another one. It was a huge success."
She even suggested a different story where the "superheroes [reunite] to attack someone else so it's a perfect little setup they got for a sequel if they wanted to."
Ultimately, Rodriguez, like fans who fell in love with plus-sized inflatable robot's cuteness and Hiro's story, is up for another go. She believes that "maybe [Disney will] do something with 'Big Hero 6.'" Besides, the company has so many big-scale projects at the moment. With the hotly-anticipated "Star Wars" film coming up, along with the money-making potentials of "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" and the follow-up to Anna and Elsa's adventures on the cards, the studio is on a roll. And "Big Hero 6" has all it takes to get to that list of movies with sequels.
As for the next adventures of Baymax and Hiro, it shouldn't be at all that hard to figure out. With "Big Hero 6" adapted from its comics, Disney, as Cinema Blend said, will find it harder to figure to things out in "Frozen 2" than this one.
Should "Big Hero 6" get a sequel, the studio will likely dish it all out at the D23 Expo this summer.
