“Lightyear.”The 69-year-old portrayed the animated toy astronaut Buzz Lightyear in the Disney franchise from 1995 until 2019.

But this Buzz Lightyear, much to Patricia Heaton’s rather evocative dismay, is voiced not by Tim Allen, whose dulcet pipes graced all four “Toy Story” flicks, but by the Star Command-ing cadences of one Chris Evans.“Lightyear” is expected to launch to between $70 million to $80 million and will screen in 4,200 North American theaters. That should be a big enough number to secure first place at the box office, as well as all the attendant bragging rights that come with that perch.

Patricia Heaton-induced chatter about the latter being “castrated” by the new film.“My younger version would have just been pinching himself,” Evans said of taking over the role during a sit-down with “Good Morning America.”The Boston native stressed that he has been a big fan of Disney and Pixar animations — and the “untouchable” Allen — since he was a kid.Before taking on the role to infinity and beyond, Evans admitted that he “certainly studied” Allen’s voice work on all four of the “Toy Story” films.“Look, Tim Allen is Buzz Lightyear,” Evans went on. “What he did in those movies is so iconic and so loved, and I’d be a fool not to incorporate some of his choices into this role.”The “Home Improvement” star, 69, portrayed the astronaut doll in the Disney flicks from 1995 until 2019.“Knives Out” star Evans continued, “The character in this movie is the human version that the toy is based off of, so it makes sense to have a little bit of overlap, luckily for me.
