WHAT!?
No Tim Allen? Tim Allen IS Buzz Lightyear.
According to Decider, Pixar is working on a new Buzz Lightyear film, a prequel that will detail the origin story of Buzz. However, Tim Allen will no longer play the voice of Buzz, but rather, Captain America himself, Chris Evans is set to handle the voice duties.

Some folks were pissed.

I’m not watching the Buzz Lightyear thing since Tim Allen’s not voicing. Such a terrible choice

Others were happy.
I mean, I’m not mad. Tim Allen is a hardcore tool bag. https://t.co/l5rD3VSq4N

lololol they replaced Tim Allen with Chris Evans as the voice of Buzz Lightyear, that's fucking delicious

Some speculated that it had to do with Allen’s support of Donald Trump in the previous election.
Tim Allen just cost himself more income than he'll EVER "save" on taxes under the #TraitorTrump.#WearAMask #USCovidDeathToll300K

Tim Allen is the only Buzz Lightyear. The low IQ and morally repugnant leftist human debris cheering for Chris Evans getting the role because he shares their heinous and hideous world view is just pathetic. You people are below scum.

So basically no Tim Allen because he's a conservative? What a load of bullshit. https://t.co/1O1Ff6Qxvf

However, Chris Evans himself clarified the story. It’s not a replacement per se… it’s an origin story about the astronaut that the toy from Toy Story was based on.
So… I guess that makes more sense.
This makes WAAAAY more sense when it comes to why Chris Evans is voicing Buzz (and not Tim Allen) https://t.co/sVyqBh4dX8
