Chris Evans speaks about his character in Lightyear
The Hollywood star voiced Buzz Lightyear in his latest movie. Talking about how the film showcases the famous character’s vulnerability, he said in an interview:
“Buzz Lightyear has always been a determined, confident and heroic character, but with Lightyear we get a chance to see a more vulnerable and human side of Buzz. We witness his struggles, uncertainties and occasional failures.”
The film, directed by Angus MacLane, is based on Buzz, whose life is turned upside down when he is stranded on a hostile planet. The much-loved character goes on to recruit help to make it home.
While speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Evans discussed his experience with voicing Pixar’s latest film. He also noted that his famous Marvel character, Captain America and Buzz Lightyear, are pretty similar. He said:
“The characters themselves have a lot of similar overlap in terms of their sense of responsibility and leadership. But they’re very different men, so you take the things that are useful and you leave the things that make Cap, Cap.”
However, the actor noted that the two characters are still “two different men.”
Speaking about how Chris Evans developed the voice for his character, he told Variety that it was “tough,” but he had to find his own interpretation. He said:
“It's tough, you know, the first time you have to do that iconic line 'to infinity and beyond,' you kind of just do a shameless Tim Allen impression because it's intimidating. But Angus [MacLane} and everyone at Pixar was so collaborative, and you kind of let them guide you and eventually you feel comfortable enough to try and make your own tracks in the snow and find your own interpretation while still using Tim Allen as the blueprint.”
Lightyear is set to hit theatres on June 17.
