Film
Fred appears in the Walt Disney Animation Studios 2014 animated film Big Hero 6 , voiced by T. J. Miller. [10] [11] [12] This version is American and the mascot at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Speaking of Miller, co-director Chris Williams said "He's a real student of comedy. There are a lot of layers to his performance, so Fred ended up becoming a richer character than anyone expected." [11] [13] [14] [15]
Fred considers himself a "major science enthusiast" and is always asking his friends to build and design things that are outside the laws of probability. Fred has a blue dragon suit built for him by Hiro Hamada which allows him to leap great distances and shoot fire. During the film, Fred's friends learn that he is incredibly wealthy, resulting in him providing the financial support and necessary training for them to become superheroes. In the post-credits scene, Fred discovers that his father (voiced by Stan Lee and animated in his likeness) is a retired superhero when he unexpectedly returns from his vacation. As they embrace each other, he says that he and Fred have much to talk about.
