Lightyear: Chris Evans Wants Toy Story’s Rex to Get a Solo Movie Next
Warning: Spoilers for Lightyear
Lightyear star Chris Evans wants Rex to be the next Toy Storycharacter to get his own solo movie. Rex, voiced by Wallace Shawn, first appeared back in 1995's Toy Story and has since appeared in all three of the sequels as well as various shorts and video games. The green dinosaur was one of Woody's most trusted friends and belonged to Andy Davis before he went off to college and gifted his toys to Bonnie at the end of Toy Story 3. Rex is currently still enjoying his time being one of Bonnie's toys and was last seen in the Forky Asks a Question episode «What is Time?»

Despite Lightyear not receiving as much praise as previous Toy Story adventures, Lightyear has still received positive reviews, which opens the door for sequels and more spinoffs in the universe.
