Lightyear Trailer: Buzz Takes Flight as Voice Cast is Revealed in Images and Poster

Disney and Pixar have released the Lightyear trailer for its upcoming Toy Story spin-off, which is set to release on June 17, 2022.

Billed as “the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear,” it promises to show the hero who inspired the toy and follows the legendary Space Ranger on an intergalactic adventure.

Check out the Lightyear trailer below:

Joining Chris Evans, who will voice Buzz Lightyear, are Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, and Taika Waititi as a group of ambitious recruits. Meanwhile, Peter Sohn voices Buzz’s robot companion, Sox. Other cast members include Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr.

“The cast for Lightyear is truly a dream team,” said director Angus MacLane. “Each of the performers immediately inhabited their character, which gave us the opportunity to play a bit during recording sessions. This resulted in a level of specificity that elevated the material and brought additional depth to the characters’ relationships. It has been a privilege to work with such a talented and generous cast.”

It was also revealed that composing the film will be Michael Giacchino, who scored Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Batman. Giacchino has a long history with Pixar as he won an Oscar, Golden Globe, and Grammy for the original score in Up. His other Pixar credits include The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Cars 2, Inside Out, Coco, and Incredibles 2. The soundtrack from Walt Disney Records will be available on June 17, 2022.
