“Tim’s version of Buzz is a little goofier and is a little dumber, and so he is the comic relief. The change in actors was a deliberate move, meant to set a contrast between Buzz from the Toy Story franchise and Buzz from Lightyear. I basically have to lower the register of my voice in everything that I do.” Eventually I felt comfortable enough to make my own interpretation, and part of that was lowering the tone of my voice. I had to somehow create my own understanding of the character, and try to make some fresh tracks in the snow while paying homage to the great work that he did. “But I couldn’t just do a shameless impression. He did such a good job, and I’d be a fool not to acknowledge the work he did,” said Evans at the film’s world premiere in Hollywood on Wednesday. Mastering the voice of Buzz, and delivering his most famous line-“to infinity and beyond”-was an “intimidating” task for Evans.

The animated movie tells the origin story of the hero who inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy, voiced by Tim Allen in the four Toy Story films.

Chris Evans has been called for duty in Disney-Pixar’s new Toy Story spin-off, Lightyear.
