Tim Allen is opening up about the new Toy Story sequel Bob Iger confirmed earlier this year.
Allen, who has voiced Buzz Lightyear in the past four animated featured films said that the studio has reached out to him and co-star Tom Hanks, who voices Woody, to return.
“Bob Iger, head of Disney, said it was on,” Allen said while making an appearance on The Tonight Show Tuesday night. “He actually said it was going to happen. They have reached out to Tom and I to reprise the roles. They’re not saying anything about it.”
However, Allen questions about returning to the animated franchise.
“For people like me, it’s just like — I’m a sci-fi buff. You wonder if four was too many, is five too much? According to the scuttlebutts, the writer that’s doing it wrote one of the better ones and he said, ‘If I didn’t get this right, I wouldn’t do it.’ So it could be a very, very interesting way to reunite it,” he added.

Allen has voiced Buzz Lightyear since the first film’s release in 1995. The actor was not asked to reprise his role in the spinoff film Lightyear, the animated film that was based on the astronaut that inspired the Buzz Lightyear toy within the Toy Story universe. Chris Evans would voice the role in the spinoff that turned controversial for not having Allen be part of it.
The Home Improvement alum talked about the controversy saying in an interview with Extra in 2022, “’ve stayed out of this ’cause it has nothing to do [with my Buzz Lightyear]. It’s a wonderful story. It just doesn’t seem to have any connection to the toy, and it’s a little…I don’t know. It just has no relationship to Buzz. It’s just no connection. I wish there was a better connection.”
