The £164million sci-fi action adventure film is expected to be a major draw for Disney, with analysts estimating it could gross over £82million in its first weekend. 

The Disney movie follows the origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy legendary Space Ranger who would win generations of fans in the Toy Story franchise.

Chris told Disney: ‘The phrase “a dream come true” gets thrown around a lot, but I’ve never meant it more in my life,’ says Evans.

‘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.’
