Miami got a superhero visit this weekend as Gui Agustini, the voice of Sunspot in the acclaimed Disney+ animated series X-Men ’97, made a heartwarming stop at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital before heading to Superfancon in the 305. The Brazilian-American actor brought smiles, energy, and a little mutant magic to young patients who may not have expected a real-life superhero to walk through their doors.
Agustini’s visit to Nicklaus Children’s Hospital on Saturday, August 22, 2026, ahead of the fan convention was a touching reminder that the influence of beloved characters like Sunspot extends far beyond the screen. The actor spent time with patients and staff, taking photos, signing memorabilia, and sharing encouraging words with children who are facing some of life’s toughest challenges. For many of the young fans inside those walls, seeing the voice behind one of Marvel’s most energetic mutant heroes was an unforgettable moment.
X-Men ’97 has been a massive hit for Disney+, reviving the beloved 1990s animated series with a fresh, emotionally powerful storyline that has captivated both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers. Agustini’s portrayal of Roberto da Costa, also known as Sunspot, has been widely praised for bringing warmth, humor, and cultural pride to the character. His presence at Superfancon — one of Miami’s premier pop culture and comic conventions — is sure to draw enormous enthusiasm from South Florida fans eager to celebrate the series in person.
Superfancon Miami continues to grow as one of the region’s most exciting events for fans of comics, animation, film, and television, and having a star of Agustini’s caliber in attendance highlights the convention’s rising profile. His decision to kick off the weekend with a hospital visit speaks volumes about his character off-screen as well. It’s the kind of story that reminds us why superhero stories resonate so deeply — not just on animated screens, but in real life too. South Florida is lucky to have him this weekend.
