Chris Evans lends his voice to Disney and Pixar‘s LIGHTYEAR, an origins story to the eventual Toy Story hero. Your first look at the Trailer below.
Synopsis:
 Releasing June 17, 2022, the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyearâthe hero who inspired the toyâfollows the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure. âBuzzâs world was always something I was excited about,â said director Angus MacLane. âIn âToy Story,â there seemed to be this incredible backstory to him being a Space Ranger thatâs only touched upon, and I always wanted to explore that world further. So my âLighytearâ pitch was, ‘What was the movie that Andy saw that made him want a Buzz Lightyear toy?â I wanted to see that movie. And now Iâm lucky enough to get to make it.â
Joining the previously announced Chris Evans, who lends his voice to Buzz, are Keke Palmer, Dale Soules and Taika Waititi as a group of ambitious recruits. Peter Sohn voices Buzzâs robot companion, Sox, and the cast also includes the voices of Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez and Isiah Whitlock Jr. “The cast for âLightyearâ is truly a dream team,â said MacLane. âEach of the performers immediately inhabited their character, which gave us the opportunity to play a bit during recording sessions. This resulted in a level of specificity that elevated the material and brought additional depth to the charactersâ relationships. It has been a privilege to work with such a talented and generous cast.”
LIGHTYEAR arrives June 17, 2022.
