"And just to be clear, this isn't Buzz Lightyear the toy. This is the origin story of the Human Buzz Lightyear that the toy was based on."
These were the words that "Captain America" actor Chris Evans wrote on his Tweet on December 10 following the announcement of his upcoming role in Disney Pixar's "Lightyear" which is scheduled to blast off in cinemas on June 17, 2022.
Chris is very excited for his film as he posted another update on Instagram.
Evans' full post:
"Working with Pixar is a dream come true. I’ve been a massive fan of their films since the very beginning. My team could barely contain their excitement when they told me that Pixar had a pitch for me. All they said was ‘Buzz Lightyear’. I didn’t know what that meant, since Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyear, and no one could ever touch his performance. I needed to know how this character was different and why this story was worth telling. I can say 2 things with absolute confidence:
1.. I didn’t stop smiling through the ENTIRE pitch. Ear to ear.
- Everyone can rest easy. And get very excited.
"Trust me when I say that they REALLY know what they’re doing over there. This one is gonna (be) special, and it doesn’t step on a single thing. I can’t even put my excitement into words. I smile every time I think about it."
