Chris Evans Explains Why Buzz's Voice Is Different In Lightyear
Chris Evans explains why it makes sense that Buzz's voice is different in Lightyear. First introduced in Toy Story in 1995, Buzz Lightyear, the toy, gets his very own origin story movie with Lightyear. The film chronicles the real-life astronaut who inspired the toy in the Toy Story universe, telling the story of Buzz getting marooned on an alien planet and trying to escape a ruthless army of robots commanded by Zurg (James Brolin). The film has proved somewhat divisive amongst critics, at least by Pixar standards, and underperformed at the box office this past weekend.
Even before the release of the film, many fans of the original Toy Story movies questioned why Tim Allen wouldn't be returning to voice Buzz. Director Angus MacLane previously spoke about the voice re-casting, explaining that Allen's version of the character didn't work with his vision for the film, which was envisioned as a more emotional journey for Buzz in a classic science-fiction movie setting. In addition to Evans, Lightyear features an all-new voice cast for the franchise, including Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, Taika Waititi, Dale Soules, and Uzo Aduba, among others.
