Chris Evans Has Super Eager Response To Whether He'd Join Star Wars
Although his new film Lightyear just premiered, the next franchise Chris Evans really wants to appear in is Star Wars. Telling the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy from Pixar's Toy Story, Lightyear sees Evans taking over voice acting duties from Tim Allen, who played the space ranger in previous Toy Story projects. Evans stars alongside the voices of Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, James Brolin, Taika Waititi, Dale Soules, Uzo Aduba, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr.
Evans took on the role of Buzz Lightyear after almost a decade of portraying Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His time in the franchise as Steve Rogers elevated him to one of the most recognizable actors in the world and made him a household name. After his final MCU appearance in Avengers: Endgame, Evans expanded his repertoire outside of the superhero genre, starring in the critically acclaimed Knives Out and Apple TV+'s miniseries Defending Jacob. Now the actor discusses how he'd like his career to bring him to a galaxy far, far away.
