Fred appears in Disney's 2014 animated film Big Hero 6, voiced by T.J. Miller.[3][4] In the film, he is depicted as a laid-back comic book fan who works as 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."[4][5][6][7] In the film, Fred has a suit built for him by Hiro which resembles a giant lizard and allows him to leap great distances and shoot fire. In the post-credits scene, Fred accidentally opens a secret door in his home, in which he finds superhero costumes and equipment. His father then appears, (voiced by and animated with the likeness of Stan Lee) and he and Fred embrace each other, explaining to Fred they both have much to talk about.
