Tim IS Buzz! Why would they completely castrate this iconic, beloved character?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Promoting \u201cLightyear,\u201d producer Galyn Susman said Allen was replaced because the Buzz character in the new film is \u201cseparate from the toy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTim Allen is Buzz Lightyear the toy,\u201d Susman said, <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2022\/06\/tim-allen-chris-evans-buzz-lightyear-movie\/\">according<\/a> to Consequence Film. \u201cWe weren\u2019t making a Toy Story movie. We\u2019re making Buzz Lightyear\u2019s movie. And so first and foremost, we just needed a different person playing that Lightyear, separate from the toy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Director Angus MacLane added that Buzz in \u201cLightyear\u201d is \u201ca little more well-rounded. Technically he\u2019s a bit smarter because he\u2019s not comic relief,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2022\/06\/tim-allen-chris-evans-buzz-lightyear-movie\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cHe has to be funny, but not too goofy.
