    EXCLUSIVE: Scott Adsit on Bringing Baymax to Live-Action in the MCU

    MCU fans may remember a rumor that Marvel Studios was looking to incorporate characters from Big Hero 6, specifically Hiro and Baymax, into their shared universe in a live-action appearance. As exciting as that rumor was, it was eventually debunked by a trade report, which indicated that Big Hero 6 and the characters associated with it were staying with the creatives at Disney and any new projects involving them would be done at that studio.

    One such new project involving the property is now available on Disney Plus in the form of BAYMAX!, a six-episode collection of shorts with a ton of heart (read our full review here) that takes the character back to his roots as a healthcare companion. Ahead of the premiere of the series, Charles Murphy had the opportunity to talk to actor Scott Adsit, who has voiced Baymax since Big Hero 6 debuted in 2014 and asked him if he’d be willing to get back in studio to bring him to life.

    I’d get in the costume for that. I’d get in the big rubber suit and inflate it and walk around. Absolutely! Because I’m a big Marvel nerd and I think all those movies are fantastic, so to step into one of them would be incredible.

    Unfortunately for Adsit, it doesn’t appear as though he’ll get the chance to fill out that rubber suit anytime soon. But as the voice of Baymax for the better part of a decade, it’s good to know he’s willing to take up the part anytime. Maybe there’s hope for the future!

    Arlyn Reviews ‘BAYMAX!’

    I always am so excited when Disney releases a new project because they never fail to entertain me. Their latest project, BAYMAX! has done just that. In 2014 (when I was 6), Disney released Big Hero 6, a movie about a robot named Baymax and a group of heroes saving their city, San Fransokyo. Baymax started out as a personal healthcare companion and was designed to help people in need; however, he ended up being a superhero. BAYMAX! returns the character to his intended purpose and the result is one of the year’s best feel-good projects.

    This show isn’t only hilarious it’s also very heartwarming which is one of the many aspects I like about it. Baymax is loveable here not only because he helps random people but also because he is very funny. As runs around San Fransokyo helping everyone, he heals not only their injuries but also helps them face their fears. And when Baymax finds himself in need of a helping hand, the show reminds us just how important good deeds can be.

    Almost everything Disney produces seeks to teach a life lesson to the audience. This show is no different in that regard. At the forefront is the fact that if you are kind to others, others will be just as kind to you. Baymax helps all these people without them asking, and then they all help Baymax.

    The series really shows who Baymax really is and it also shows us all who we could be if only we all had someone there for us like Baymax. It’s definitely the kind of show that needs to be out in the world and remind us all how important it is to be kind.
