Watch: Chris Evans stars as Buzz Lightyear in new Pixar movie

Pixar has dropped its first trailer for upcoming film 'Lightyear' starring Chris Evans as Buzz Lightyear.

Thankfully, the film will not follow the 'toy' Buzz that we know and love, which was originally voiced by Tim Allen.

Instead, we'll see Chris Evans play the 'real-life' Buzz Lightyear who blasts off into infinity and beyond.

The Marvel and Pixar actor is delighted to be a part of the franchise.

"The phrase ‘a dream come true’ gets thrown around a lot, but I’ve never meant it more in my life. Anyone who knows me knows that my love for animated films runs deep."

"I can’t believe that I get to be a part of the Pixar family and work with these truly brilliant artists who tell stories unlike anyone else. Watching them work is nothing short of magic. I pinch myself every day."

The movie was first announced at the 2020 Disney Investor Day and is scheduled for release in cinemas on 17th June 2022.
