There’s good news for fans of “Big Hero 6.” All the key characters from the Oscar-winning animated film — including the lovable, blimp-like robot — are about to return in a new TV movie and series.

That means even more play time in the Marvel universe for Jamie Chung.

Chung, a San Francisco native, provides the voice of Go Go Tomago, the sassy, gum-chomping engineering student and member of an eclectic superhero team. She also plays the mutant Blink — aka Clarice Fong — in Fox’s “The Gifted,” a first-year drama series based on the Marvel Comics’ “X-Men” saga.

“I’m lucky in that both shows do a great job of presenting strong female characters,” Chung says. “And the characters I play are similar in some ways. They’re tough and independent. Blink has had a different kind of upbringing from Go Go, but ultimately they share the same essence.”

Go Go and the rest of the “Big Hero 6” gang make their comeback Monday night in the new hourlong TV movie “Baymax Returns” (8 p.m., Disney XD and the Disney Channel). That will set the stage for “Big Hero 6 The Series,” which will debut on Disney XD early next year.

“Baymax Returns” picks up after the events of the wildly popular 2014 feature film, exploring the moments after Hiro believes that his compassionate, cutting-edge robot Baymax has been lost in the portal forever.

But Hiro discovers the chip that his brother Tadashi designed to create Baymax. So the 14-year-old tech whiz sets out to rebuild the robot just as he’s starting his school year at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology.

Unfortunately, Hiro’s overconfidence and penchant for taking shortcuts too often leads him and the newly minted Big Hero 6 team — Wasabi, Honey Lemon, Go Go and Fred — into trouble.

Chung enthusiastically welcomed the chance to step into Go Go’s shoes again.

“When I heard that we were coming back, I was so thrilled,” she says. “Generally, you fall in love with your character, but it’s a one-shot thing and when you’re done, you have to set her aside. This is a chance to really dive into the character and see sides of her that you never got to see before.”

As the saga resumes, Go Go is “just as grumpy as ever,” Chung says, but “she’s going to gradually open up a little more and she has some new hobbies that you wouldn’t expect.”

These are exciting times on the professional front for Chung, who grew up in San Francisco and attended Lowell High School (class of 2001) before heading to Southern California to spend her college years at UC Riverside. “The Gifted” represents her first role as a TV series regular, coming after guest appearances on numerous TV shows, including “Castle,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Once Upon a Time” and “Gotham.”

Her character on “The Gifted,” Clarice, is a mutant with incredibly radiant green eyes who can teleport via portals. She’s part of an underground network of mutants being targeted by a hostile government agency called Sentinel Services.

Extremely stoic and independent-minded, Clarice has spent much of her life on the run, and recently, she had abandoned the Mutant Underground to go out on her own. But after discovering that the foster home of her youth had been taken down by the Sentinel, she’s reversing course and is out for revenge.

“She’s usually a fight-or-flight type of person,” says Chung. “Now, it’s definitely the latter. She’s all in.”
