Chris Evans Explains How Buzz Lightyear Is Different To Captain America
Chris Evans explains how Lightyear's Buzz Lightyear is different from Captain America. Evans played Steve Rogers/Captain America in the MCU for three solo Captain America films, as well as all four Avengers films before retiring the role after Avengers: Endgame. Evans passed the shield to his friend Sam Wilson/Falcon, who took up the mantle as the new Captain America in the Disney+ series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
Evans' Steve Rogers/Captain America was a young man growing up during WWII who had a fighting spirit, but a weak, sickly body. He was injected with a super-soldier serum, eventually fighting in the war before being frozen in ice and later thawed out to become the Man Out Of Time in the modern era, leading the Avengers, while finding his place in the world. Buzz Lightyear is an astronaut for Star Command who boasts a strong will with confidence to spare in being a Space Ranger, embodied in his persona as a toy in the Toy Story films, as well as his in-universe persona in Lightyear.

In a Q&A with Twitter Movies, Evans discusses the difference between the two characters, both of who are captains and leaders, but have very different personalities and backgrounds. Evans notes that the similarities stop at the basic aspects, as they both have different natures from one another, as Steve Rogers came from «humble beginnings» and took some time to develop into a leader, whereas Buzz Lightyear was «destined for a leadership role» as it was «all he ever wanted.» Listen to Evans' full response below:
