Disney Announces Buzz Lightyear Origin Movie To Drop In 2022

Disney has revealed we will be getting an origin story for one of the most iconic animated characters of all time.

Everyone knows Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story franchise, but how much do we really know about him?

Well, that's what Disney will explain in 2022 when it releases its spin-off film.

Titled Lightyear, the movie is described as 'the definitive story of the original Buzz Lightyear' that will deep dive into the story of the 'young test pilot that became the Space Ranger we all know him to be today'.

It will be released into cinemas on June 17, 2022 and Buzz will be voiced by Chris Evans.

Tim Allen officially hung up the boots for the character after the fourth film in the series and it looks like Disney has tapped Captain America to take over.

This will surely be an incredible watch.
