American actor Chris Evans, who rose to eminence over his portrayal of superhero Captain America, said his dream came true as he is a part of the Pixar family for giving his voice to a familiar hero Buzz Lightyear.
Disney Studios has released the trailer of animated movie Lightyear on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old actor is part of the project to lend his voice to the main character in the animated superhero movie. Buzz Lightyear is an astronaut - an inspiration from the favourite Toy Story figure Buzz Lightyear.
"Animated movie [sic] were an enormous part of my childhood. They were my escape. My adventures. My dreams," Chris Evans expressed his excitement while taking to a microblogging website.
"They were my first window into the magic of storytelling and performing. To pixar and AngusMacLane: 'Thank you' doesn't even come close #Lightyear."
Chris Evans also attached a screenshot of his statement about the movie to his tweet. "The phrase 'a dream come true' gets thrown around a lot, but I've never meant it more in my life," it stated.
"Anyone who knows me knows that my love for animated films runs deep. I can't believe that I get to be a part of the Pixar family and work with these truly brilliant artists who tell stories unlike anyone else. Watching them work is nothing short of magic. I pinch myself every day."
"Lightyear" will be released to theatres in 2022 summer. The animated film unfolds the life of Buzz Lightyear, a Space Ranger. The Disney-released trailer shows Buzz Lightyear, dressed in his iconic suit, getting ready for a space mission at a training facility.
