Maya Rudolph Joins BIG HERO 6, Is Likely Voicing Honey Lemon

TheWrap is reporting another awesome addition to the voice cast of Marvel and Disney's Big Hero 6. Comedian Maya Rudolph (SNL, Bridesmaids, Idiocracy) has taken an unnamed lead role in the animated film. I have to assume the role is team member Honey Lemon, as Leyu Yoshida/Sunpyre is owned by Fox (unless they're able to share the character). The film co-directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, already has TJ Miller voicing Fred and Jamie Chung is voicing GoGo Tomago. It's release date is set for November 7th, 2014.

“Big Hero 6” is a comedic action-adventure movie about brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion — a robot named Baymax — Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city.”

Jack Black And Mike Judge Might Be Working Together On New Film

Mike Judge might be known as the creative mind behind Beavis And Butt-Hand along with King of The Hill. Yet, Judge is an accomplished comedy directors with excellent credits like Office Space and the sci-fi idiot comedy Idiocracy.

Judge while on Howard 101 for Celebrity Super-Fan Round Table let it slip he had just come from a meeting with Jack Black. He went on to confirm it was for an untitled movie project. Considering Mike hasn't done an animated movie since Beavis And Butt-Head Do America, it's likely it will be live-action.

It's been an odd comedy road for Jack Black in the last couple of years. It would be interesting to see Black return to strong raunchy/dark comedy which Judge's material seems to inhabit. The project's plot is currently unknown but I assume the supporting cast could be equally interesting. My hope is that Judge would return to genre comedy perhaps staying in the science fiction arena.
