Chris Evans Comments On Disney Reinstating Lightyear's Same-Sex Kiss
Chris Evans is proud of Disney reinstating Lightyear's same-sex kiss, but wants to see better from studios in the future. Evans stars in the upcoming Toy Story spinoff as the titular Space Ranger who would go on to inspire Tim Allen's iconic toy protagonist. Lightyear will explore Buzz's origin story as he tries to help his crew escape from being marooned on an alien planet by testing a hyperspace fuel, only to incidentally travel 62 years in the future and discover the threat of the evil Emperor Zurg.
Alongside Evans, the cast for Lightyear includes Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, James Brolin, Taika Waititi, Dale Soules, Uzo Aduba, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez and Isiah Whitlock Jr. Helmed by Finding Dory's Angus MacLane in his solo feature directorial debut, the film has already garnered generally positive reviews, falling short of other Toy Story installments but still scoring acclaim for its sci-fi influences, typically gorgeous animation from Pixar and heartwarming story. Lightyear did draw attention prior to its release for the inclusion of a same-sex kiss scene in the film and one star is sharing their thoughts on the situation.
