Toy Story fans accustomed to hearing Tim Allen narrate Buzz Lightyear’s voice were surprised this week when Disney Pixar debuted a new trailer with Chris Evans’ voice bringing Buzz to life. Some fans speculated about why Allen didn’t voice Lightyear in this film, suggesting conservative-oriented public comments cost him the job.

Evans has publicly indicated his respect for Allen’s performances as Buzz Lightyear.
An IMDb page for “Lightyear,” a movie focusing on Buzz’s origin story, indicates the film should debut June 17, 2022.
