That aside, Tom Hanks, who voiced Woody in the Pixar "Toy Story" franchise, recently questioned Chris Evans' voicing Buzz Lightyear in the character's 2022 origin story, "Lightyear" instead of Tim Allen. Allen, who has come under fire for voicing pro-Donald Trump opinions, was the first to take on the role.
In the recent interview, Hanks claimed that he didn't "understand" why they didn't initially offer it the to the former "Home Improvement" star. The 65-year-old actor said, "Actually, I wanted to go head-to-head with Tim Allen and then they didn't let Tim Allen do it. I don't understand that."
"Here's the thing -just as long as people come back to the motion picture theatre. I want to go back in the theatre with a bunch of strangers and leave with something in common," he added. "That's what I want to do and, going to see a movie with him (Allen) - I'm looking forward to that."
