He's awesome!'Īlong with the new trailer, Disney announced the additional cast members joining Evans in Lightyear, including Keke Palmer, Dale Soules and Taika Waititi as a trio of Space Ranger recruits and Peter Sohn as the aforementioned feline companion Sox, as well as Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez and Isiah Whitlock Jr. 'The cast for Lightyear is truly a dream team,' MacLane said. He's just so excited and just really positive about it. Chris is such a great partner for the film, creatively and spiritually. It's such a breeze every time we work together. Once he agreed to do it, we started recording, and it was a really natural fit it couldn't have gone better. 'When we pitched it to him, we saw how easy he was to work with and how excited he was for the project. 'He's a really good comedic actor, he's a really good dramatic actor, and he's really good at action,' director Angus MacLane previously explained when discussing casting Evans as Buzz.

As confirmed by Evans at the time, the film isn't about the Buzz Lightyear Toy Story fans are familiar with (voiced by Tim Allen) - rather, it's 'the origin story of the human Buzz Lightyear that the toy is based on.' This is further supported by Disney's new Lightyear synopsis, which reads, 'The sci-fi action-adventure presents the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear-the hero who inspired the toy-introducing the legendary Space Ranger who would win generations of fans.' Lightyear was announced in December 2020.
