Pixar’s future Toy Story franchise installment is slated to feature a new story that gives the background behind Toy Story regular Buzz Lightyear. The sci-fi flick has cast Knives Out star Chris Evans as the voice of the young Space Ranger. This finding actually isn’t all that surprising, though, since Toy Story star Tim Allen voiced his animated counterpart in every sequel – except for the upcoming movie.

Why Pixar Replaced Tim Allen With Chris Evans In Lightyear

When we think of the star power and expertise it takes to bring a superhero character to life, one person comes to mind as the clear choice – Chris Evans. Since Lightyear is based on a character from a sci-fi movie in which Evans has plenty of experience working professionally in, we didn’t really consider any other actor for the role when making Lightyear, especially considering this isn’t technically a prequel or direct continuation of the Toy Story franchise but rather a spinoff, said Angus MacLane (director of Lightyear). Precisely, Buzz is finalized to be played by Evans because he embodies everything about Buzz that the script could have ever wanted.
