You need somebody who can do drama and comedy, comedy that doesn’t undercut the stakes of the character. So, you need somebody who’s going to be very well-rounded. And then, you’re looking at taking a side character and making them the protagonist of his own movie. And so first and foremost, we just needed to have a different person playing that Lightyear, separate from the toy. We’re making Buzz Lightyear’s movie, the Lightyear movie. “Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyear the toy, and he’s the embodiment of Buzz Lightyear the toy. Galyn Susman explained not only why they wanted to differentiate this version of Buzz, but why Chris Evans was the perfect choice to portray him. During the press conference Angus and Galyn were asked about why they wanted to bring in a new actor to portray Buzz instead of having Tim Allen reprise the role. The Illuminerdi had the opportunity to attend the Lightyear virtual press conference which included director Angus McLane, producer Galyn Susman, and composer Michael Giacchino. LIGHTYEAR PRODUCER EXPLAINS WHY THEY MOVED AWAY FROM TIM ALLEN VOICING BUZZ LIGHTYEAR This is an important distinction as it explains not only why this version of Buzz is different from the version fans know and love, but it also shows why the creatives behind the new film wanted to bring in a new actor to play Buzz. Instead Lightyear is the film within the Toy Story universe that inspired Andy’s love for the character. However, this is not the toy that fans are familiar with. Buzz Lightyear was first introduced as a toy in Toy Story and voiced by Tim Allen. Lightyear is only days away and audiences will get the chance to experience a whole new adventure with the iconic Space Ranger.
