Hiro and Baymax Bring ‘Big Hero 6’ To ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’
Until now, there’s been a general divide between Disney and Marvel since the two entertainment giants become one. With the upcoming film release of Big Hero 6 however, this will mark the first true collaboration between the two entities, with Disney making a full on animated film that’s inspired by a relatively unknown Marvel property. Naturally, we knew that there would be some form of representation in the upcoming Marvel focused game, Disney Infinity 2.0.
That representation comes in the form of Hiro and Baymax, who show off some of their abilities in their reveal trailer below. With Hiro’s ability to attack with the earth below him, and Baymax pulling his weight with long range energy blasts, the two characters look like they’ll fit right into the action packed potential of the Toy Box. Even more interesting, are the shots of Hiro riding on his robotic companion. Is that an ability unique to them, or will all larger characters be able to carry smaller ones? Oh, what I wouldn’t give to watch Hulk give Captain America a piggyback ride.
As far as we can tell, everything looks on track to make these two into welcomed addition to the cast. Let’s just hope they don’t turn out like the Frozen characters in the first game, where they ended up as bare bones additions that lacked many of their personality traits from the film. That’s what happens when video game characters are developed before the source material is released.
From what you’ve seen, does it look like Hiro and Baymax will be added to your collection? Disney Infinity 2.0 is set for September 23rd, with the Big Hero Six figures releasing sometime in the fall.
