Lightyear: A New International Poster and 2 New Images

Published Mon, 16 May 2022 12:47:11 -0500

Pixar dropped some new information about their new movie, Elemental, and while that movie is still more than a year away, the studio has a new film dropping next month. Lightyear will be monumental because it is the first Pixar movie to get a theatrical release since Onward in March of 2020 when the world decided to end. Since then, Pixar has released three more movies [Soul, Luca, Turning Red], and all three of them went directly to Disney+. We still believe that these three movies deserve some sort of theatrical release, but we do have Lightyear to look forward to soon. IMP Awards shared a new international poster, while the official Disney media site shared two new images.

A sci-fi action-adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy, Lightyear follows the legendary Space Ranger after he's marooned on a hostile planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth alongside his commander and their crew. As Buzz tries to find a way back home through space and time, he's joined by a group of ambitious recruits and his charming robot companion cat, Sox. Complicating matters and threatening the mission is the arrival of Zurg, an imposing presence with an army of ruthless robots and a mysterious agenda.

The film features the voices of Chris Evans as accomplished Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear, Uzo Aduba as his commander and best friend Alisha Hawthorne, and Peter Sohn as Sox. Keke Palmer, Taika Waititi, and Dale Soules lend their voices to the Junior Zap Patrol's Izzy Hawthorne, Mo Morrison, and Darby Steel, respectively, and James Brolin can be heard as the enigmatic Zurg. The voice cast also includes Mary McDonald-Lewis as onboard computer I.V.A.N., Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Commander Burnside, Efren Ramirez as Airman Diaz, and Keira Hairston as Young Izzy. Directed by Angus MacLane (co-director Finding Dory), produced by Galyn Susman (Toy Story That Time Forgot), and featuring a score by award-winning composer Michael Giacchino (The Batman, Up), Lightyear opens only in theaters on June 17, 2022.
