In a slew of announcements made by Disney the other day, one announcement stood out from the rest. Nope, it was not the teaser footage from Loki or the expansion of the Star Wars universe, but the announcement that Pixar will be releasing a prequel to Toy Story about Buzz Lightyear.

To sweeten the announcement, the person who will voice Buzz is none-other than Captain America himself, Chris Evans. The animated movie, simply titled “Lightyear” will explore the life the real Buzz Lightyear who the toy was inspired from. As explained by Chris Evans himself in one of his tweets,
“…just to be clear, this isn’t Buzz Lightyear the toy. This is the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on.”
Blasting into theaters June 17, 2022, Lightyear is the definitive story of the original Buzz Lightyear. Voiced by @ChrisEvans, get ready to go to “infinity and beyond” with Lightyear. ? ?? pic.twitter.com/LdYXlN33sP
