Buzz Lightyear is back! And he's voiced by Chris Evans!

Tim Allen is out as the voice of Star Command's greatest hero as this series is set to centre on a younger version of the character. This will mark the first time that there has been a full spin-off movie from a Toy Story property.

The story is set to centre on Lightyear's early days as a test pilot, long before he ever became the Space Ranger that we would come to know and love in the main series. This will also provide the most in-depth backstory to him outside of the Buzz Lightyear and Star Command cartoon.

Titled Lightyear, it is set to debut in July 2022.
