“The relationship between Hiro and his robot has a very Disney flavor to it…but it’s combined with these Marvel heroic arcs.” Quesada said.
Marvel and Disney agreed to keep Big Hero 6 out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which contains The Avengers, the Iron Man trilogy, Thor, and the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, and set it in their own stand-alone universe. In the original Marvel comic, written by veteran X-Men writer Chris Claremont, both Sunfire and Silver Samurai were members of the team, but will not be featured in the film due to Marvel’s contract with Fox Studios, which gives Fox the rights to those characters.
A new, serialized, manga version of Big Hero 6 will be published by Kodansha’s Magazine Special beginning August 10, 2014, with a prologue to be published in Weekly Shonen Magazine August 6. The new series will mark the first time a Disney movie’s story is previewed before its release. Kodansha also publishes the manga version of the award-winning Knights of Sidonia, which is now an anime series on Netflix.
The cast will include Damon Wayans, Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell, and Alan Tudyk. Big Hero 6 will hit theaters November 7, 2014.
