Every hero has a beginning.
Buzz Lightyear fans, we’ve finally got an official trailer for Disney/Pixar’s Lightyear, starring Chris Evans as the voice of the titular Space Ranger. It’s a glorious feat of stunning visuals and epic celestial action, complemented by David Bowie‘s “Starman.”
Here’s a synopsis for Lightyear per Pixar Animation Studios:
Lightyear is a sci-fi action-adventure and the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear (voice of Chris Evans)—the hero who inspired the toy. The film reveals how a young test pilot became the Space Ranger that we all know him to be today. Lightyear is directed by Angus MacLane and produced by Galyn Susman.

Pete Docter pens a script based on characters by Andrew Stanton, John Lasseter and Joe Ranft.
In the trailer, we see Captain Buzz and his space team trapped on a strange planet, and they’re working hard to get home. Thus, Buzz embarks on his first test flight for a rescue mission, but things take a turn for the topsy-turvy when he winds up on another new world.
Armed only with Socks, a “personal companion robot” that looks like a cat, Buzz must find a way off of a planet chock full of aliens and intimidating robots.
Besides getting a glimpse of Buzz’s Space Ranger team, the trailer also showcases a few action sequences featuring none other than Emperor Zurg, Buzz’s archnemesis.
I’m an avid fan of anything Pixar, and I’d watch Chris Evans read the back of a cereal box. Evans perfectly captures the essence of Buzz with his voice. I can’t wait to see how the flick fills in the blanks of our favorite Space Ranger’s origin story.
Lightyear blasts into theaters on Friday, June 17. Watch the trailer below!
