Chris Evans Is Ready for His Own ‘Lightyear’ Ride at Disneyland: ‘That’s the Dream’ (Video)

Tom Hanks admitted he was confused by Disney's decision to replace Tim Allen with Chris Evans in the new "Lightyear" film about Allen's fictional "Toy Story" character, Buzz Lightyear. The 65-year-old actor was asked if it was "strange to be in theaters opposite a Buzz Lightyear film" as his "Elvis" flick rolled through cinemas at the same time.

Tom Hanks is puzzled at Tim Allen’s absence from the new “Toy Story” spin-off.

“Lightyear,” Pixar’s attempt to reinvent the “Toy Story” franchise, continues to struggle at the box office and has now drawn a bit of casting confusion from the real-life Woody star himself Tom Hanks.Chris Evans voices the titular character in the new film, which is basically the blockbuster movie that inspired the TV spinoff that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy that Andy had in “Toy Story.” If that sounds confusing, you’re not alone, as Hanks added his voice to the chorus of those confused why Tim Allen had no involvement in “Lightyear.”When asked if it will be strange for “Elvis” and “Lightyear” to overlap in theaters, Hanks told Cinema Blend: “How about that? Why it’s not — I actually, I wanted to go head to head with Tim Allen and they didn’t let Tim Allen do it. I don’t, I don’t understand that.” Despite Hanks’ confusion, the actor was happy that Hollywood was delivering audiences more product as the industry continues to try and entice consumers back into movie theaters.

The original Buzz Lightyear has finally spoken about the controversy over Chris Evans voicing the main character in Disney/Pixar’s Lightyear origin story.

Tim Allen is sharing his thoughts on the new Disney film "Lightyear" that stars Chris Evans. During an interview with Extra, Allen, 69, said the prequel to "Toy Story" is completely different from the original films. "This is a whole new team that really had nothing to do with the first movies," he shared.

To infinity … and beyond recognition. Tim Allen is revealing how he really feels about the new Lightyear movie three years after he last voiced the animated Buzz Lightyear character in Toy Story 4.

Zack Sharf Tim Allen has finally weighed in on “Lightyear,” the Pixar movie inspired by the character he made famous in four “Toy Story” movies. Chris Evans voices the title character in “Lightyear.” The film functions in the “Toy Story” universe as the movie that inspired the toy that Allen voices, which is why Evans stepped into the role and why Allen was not involved. If it all sounds confusing, well, it is.“The short answer is I’ve stayed out of this because it has nothing to do [with my character],” Allen told “Extra” about the Pixar spinoff.

Tim Allen is the original voice of Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story movies, but he was not involved in Lightyear, the spinoff movie starring Chris Evans in the title role.

“Lightyear” (which is now playing exclusively in theaters) serves as the big screen sci-fi adventure that eventually led to the toy that Andy was gifted at the start of the first “Toy Story”. It expands the “Toy Story” universe in surprising and meaningful ways.

Too big of an ask. The most-talked-about scene in Pam & Tommy includes a discussion between Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee and his talking penis, voiced by Jason Mantzoukas — but Chris Evans was briefly considered for the gig.
