Lightyear, the Toy Story spin-off all about Space Ranger Buzz, doesn't feature Tim Allen return🐽ing to his iconic role – and producer Galyn Susman has explained why. 

While Allen voiced the character in all four Toy Story films, this 🐓time around, he just wasn't the right fit. Instead, the former Captain America Chris Evans is stepping into the spaceman's shoes. 

. "There's not really a role. It would just cause more confusion for audiences instead of helping them understand the movie we're trying to tell."

Director Angus MacLane also addressed the change. "Buzz was a side character in Toy Story and was a little goof💦ier and a little more of a comedic relief," he said. "For Buzz to be a main character he needed a little more gravitas, a little more vuln✅erability, needed to be funny but not in a goofy way that would undercut the drama. Chris embodied all of those things."

Lightyear sees the titular Space Ranger stranded on a hostile alien planet, where he must work with some new recruits and his adorable robot cat Sox to try and find a way back home – though the mysterious presence of Zurg might throw a spanne🧔r in the works.
