Chris

Lends
His
Voice
to
Buzz
Lightyear
in
the
Definitive
Origin
Story
of
the
Hero
Who
Inspired
the
Toy.
A
new
trailer
blasts
off
this
morning
for
Disney
and
Pixar's
original
sci-fi
action-adventure
"Lightyear."
Releasing
June
17,
2022,
the
definitive
origin
story
of
Buzz
Lightyear-the
hero
who
inspired
the
toy-follows
the
legendary
Space
Ranger
on
an
intergalactic
adventure.
"Buzz's
world
was
always
something
I
was
excited
about," said
director
Angus
MacLane.
"In
'Toy
Story,'
there
seemed
to
be
this
incredible
backstory
to
him
being
a
Space
Ranger
that's
only
touched
upon,
and
I
always
wanted
to
explore
that
world
further.
So
my
'Lighytear'
pitch
was,
'What
was
the
movie
that
Andy
saw
that
made
him
want
a
Buzz
Lightyear
toy?'
I
wanted
to
see
that
movie.
And
now
I'm
lucky
enough
to
get
to
make
it."
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
Buzz's
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
'Lightyear'
is
truly
a
dream
team," said
MacLane.
"Each
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
characters'
relationships.
It
has
been
a
privilege
to
work
with
such
a
talented
and
generous
cast."
Award-winning
composer
Michael
Giacchino,
who's
behind
the
scores
for
the
upcoming
film
"The
Batman," as
well
as
"Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home,"
is
on
board
to
score
"Lightyear."
