Trailers
Like Lilo & Stitch trailers, teaser trailers for this film parody trailers for other Disney films from recent years. These are called "Inter-Baymax-als" and are featured on Disney's official site. The original actors were brought back to reprise their roles and were shocked when asked to act negatively towards Hiro & Baymax. The trailers also include the Fall Out Boy song track "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light It Up)".
 * 1) Beauty and the Beast: The Beauty and the Beast ballroom dance sequence begins as normal. However, as the camera pans to the angels on the ceiling, Hiro and Baymax is on the roof. Watching Belle and the Beast, Baymax cracked the roof, which the roof and chandelier breaks and he and Hiro fell. The Beast dives and pulls Belle with him out of harm's way while the chandelier smashes on the ballroom floor behind them. The moment ruined, Belle announces she will be in her room. As she departs Baymax wolf whistles after her, to which she replies indignantly, "Get your own sequel!"
 * 2) Aladdin: Aladdin and Jasmine are interrupted in the middle of the "A Whole New World" sequence by Hiro & Baymax. Baymax flirts with Jasmine and she drives off with him and Hiro, leaving Aladdin sitting alone on the carpet, yelling at Hiro & Baymax to "Get your own sequel!"
 * 3) The Little Mermaid: Ariel is singing the reprise of "Part of Your World", when a huge wave, which is being superspeed by Hiro & Baymax, dumps on her. As the ocean settles, Ariel pops up and throws a starfish at Hiro, saying "I was singing here!" This trailer was the most difficult to parody, as the film had been painted using traditional cel animation rather than using the digital CAPS system and had to be cleaned up by hand.
 * 4) The Lion King: When the "Circle of Life" song ends, Rafiki raising Hiro into the air on the last note. Timon (sitting on Pumbaa's back) cries out, "Hey, that's not Simba!" All the animals flee, leaving Hiro alone on Pride Rock and Baymax catches him after Rafiki drops him.

Future
The cast expressed interest in returning for a third sequel, and presented different ideas of what it would be about, among which was the joking suggestion they frequently made of giving Fred a spin-off series. Hall expressed interest in doing a third sequel that would be similar to The Parent Trap, which would center upon Baymax and Hiro attempt to reunite Cass. Shortly after the film's release, Disney+ sent a survey to subscribers asking about their opinion of the movie and asked "how likely would each household member [want] to watch another movie involving the characters and world of Big Hero 6 third sequel if it became available," implying that the studio is considering producing a third sequel at some point.
