It was previously announced that Disney is planning to release a new trailer for one of its upcoming movies at the Oscars 2022 ceremony. Some fans hoped that it would be the first trailer for Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder, but that rumor was quickly debunked. Now, we know for sure, the trailer that previous reports referred to was the newest trailer for Lightyear, the upcoming spin-off of Pixar’s most known franchise — Toy Story.

The Toy Story franchise kicked off in 1995 with the original movie directed by John Lasseter. The movie introduced popular toys that were owned by a boy named Andy, and the most known toys were Cowboy Woody, voiced by Tom Hanks, and Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Tim Allen. The original movie was a huge success, and it launched a multimedia franchise, which also included three sequels, released in 1999, 2010, and 2019, respectively. All those movies were very successful, and Toy Story 3 was even nominated for Best Picture, which is something that not a lot of animated movies achieved. Both Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 won the Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature.

Although the possibility of the fifth film wasn’t ruled out, Pixar now has something different in store for us. Buzz Lightyear, a famous toy from the main franchise was inspired by a real space ranger of the same name, and now we will see his origin story of how exactly he inspired the famous action figure from Toy Story films. While Tim Allen voiced the action figure in the main franchise, the real Buzz Lightyear will be voiced by beloved Captain America star Chris Evans.

At last night’s Oscars 2022 ceremony, a new TV spot was released. Check it out below:

Angus MacLane, who previously worked as an animator on Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 3 will now have his feature film directional debut with Lightyear. Chris Evans is starring in the titular role, and Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, Taika Waititi, Peter Sohn, Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr. also star.

Lightyear is set to be released in theaters on June 17, 2022.

He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
