Nearly ten months have passed since Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that ‘Toy Story 5’ was in development. Since then, things have been very quiet around the hit animated series – until now! Tim Allen, the original voice of Buzz Lightyear, has now provided an update on the current production status – and fans should be pretty happy with his words.
The “Listen Who’s Banging” star recently appeared as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show and explained: “Bob Iger, the head of Disney, said it worked. He actually said it would happen. You turned to Tom [Hanks] and turned to me to resume our roles. They didn’t say anything more about it.”
After Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear and Tom Hanks as Cowboy Woody appeared in all four ‘Toy Story’ films to date, the spin-off ‘Lightyear’, which was not very profitable at the box office, could see changes last year. to assure. . Woody wasn’t even there and a different cast was chosen for Buzz Lightyear because the film did not focus on the Buzz Lightyear toy, but was seen as a real science fiction adventure about the risk-taking astronaut who… served the film world as template for the character. This was voiced by Marvel star Chris Evans.
For ‘Toy Story 5′, Disney wants to ensure that the series’ main stars, Tim Allen and Tom Hanks, return. It is not yet clear what the sequel will be about, who will direct, whether other familiar voices will be heard and when we can expect ‘Toy Story 5’ in cinemas. But it will be very interesting to see how the reunion of the two unlikely heroes will go.
