Tom Hanks talks about Tim Allen’s replacement

Tom Hanks would have preferred to see his friend and fellow actor Tim Allen reprise his role in Buzz in Lightyear.

Talking to CinemaBlend In an interview published on June 25, Hanks said he hoped to face Allen at the box office when asked about the performance of his new movie Elvis.

“How about that? I actually wanted to go head-to-head with Tim Allen and then they wouldn’t let Tim Allen do it,” Hanks said. “I don’t get it.”

Hanks was asked about Evans who provided the voiceover in the new movie to which he replied, “Yeah, yeah, I know.”

He added, “Here’s the thing: I want to go back to the stage with a bunch of strangers and leave with something in common. That’s what I want to do, and I’m going to watch a movie with him.” [Allen] – I’m looking forward to it.”

The manager explained why Evans replaced Allen

Lightyear manager Angus MacLane recently spoke about the decision to replace Allen in 2022.

In an interview with Vanity Fair On June 8, McClain said, “Tim’s version of Buzz is a little bit crazier and a little dumb, so it’s a comedic relief. In this movie, Buzz is the action hero. He’s serious, ambitious, and funny, but not in a wacky way that would undermine the drama.” .

“Chris Evans has that charisma and movie star quality that our character needed to separate him from the movie from Tim’s version of the game in Toy Story.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Evans praised Allen’s portrayal and said he used it as a “guideline” for his role.

“I would be an idiot if I didn’t acknowledge the work he did,” said the Marvel star.
