After the success of the "Big Hero 6" animated action-hero movie, a lot of moviegoers are hoping to see another adventure featuring Hiro and Co. In a recent report from the Toronto Sun, Marvel comics publisher Stan Lee has hinted that a sequel is coming soon for "Big Hero 6." There have been reported speculations on what the fans can expect in the sequel. This is yet to be confirmed but the spreading news are definitely very interesting and exciting.

As fans can remember, Hiro Hamada's older brother, Tadashi Hamada, believed in his skills in the field of robotics so he convinced young Hiro to visit their school. Hiro met Tadashi's colleagues and that's where Hiro saw the medical assistant inflatable robot, which is the creation of Tadashi, called Baymax. Hiro joined the robotics expo with his microbot invention. But unknown to him, the founder Dr. Callaghan had the interest of acquiring Hiro's invention. A seemingly accidental fire then happened where Tadashi attempted to save Dr. Callaghan, which ultimately cost his life. In the long run, they found out that it was all planned by Callaghan himself.

This is where the intersting speculation comes in. It has been reportedly said that Tadashi is still alive. He will be the flying, fire shooting villain known as Sunfire. He will acquire the ability to convert heat into plasma, as reports have said. There is no concrete explanation on how he got the powers but this was after the fire incident that happened.

As MNG reported, he will not totally be a bad guy at all. There will come a time in the movie when he will realize something and change his views. Sunfire will then join the squad that will appropriately justify the movie's title, "Big Hero 7," and face a bigger villain ahead of them.

The movie is still reportedly in production so there is no specific release date yet.
