Disney XD is really ramping up their Marvel content with the news that Big Hero 6 has received a second season of animated adventures even before the first series launches next Spring.

The series stars Maya Rudolph as Aunt Cass, Jamie Chung as Go Go, Scott Adsit as Baymax, Ryan Potter as Hiro, Genesis Rodriguez as Honey Lemon, Khary Payton as Wasabi, Brooks Wheelan as Fred, Alan Tudyk as Alistair Krei, David Shaughnessy as Heathcliff and Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee as Fred’s dad.

The Disney Television Animation-produced series picks up immediately following the events of the feature film and continues the adventures and friendship of 14-year-old tech genius Hiro and his compassionate, cutting-edge robot Baymax. Along with their friends Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Go Go and Fred, they form the legendary superhero team Big Hero 6 and embark on high-tech adventures as they protect their city from an array of scientifically enhanced villains. In his normal day-to-day life, Hiro faces daunting academic challenges and social trials as the new prodigy at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.

This comes on top of Season 2 of Guardians of the Galaxy launching in April – and in the opener they team up with the Avengers. After an epic battle, the two teams come together to save Earth from an alien mad scientist, the High Evolutionary, but inadvertently unleash an ancient weapon. With every alien baddie in the galaxy after this weapon, the Guardians must unlock its secrets before it destroys them and everything they’ve sworn to protect.

The series stars Will Friedle (Boy Meets World) as the quirky leader Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Trevor Devall (Johnny Test) as the temperamental, tough-talking Rocket Raccoon, Vanessa Marshall (Star Wars Rebels) as the unparalleled warrior Gamora, David Sobolov (Transformers: Prime) as the rough-edged warrior Drax the Destroyer, and Kevin Michael Richardson (The Cleveland Show) as tree-like humanoid Groot.
