Maybe in getting a taste of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) with his walk-on role in the Guardians of the Galaxy sequel several years ago, Stallone thought anything Marvel can do, I can do even better (or just as good in the nebulous definition of the word). Unfortunately for Stallone and the audience on the other side of the screen, the derivative, turgid, forgettable results won’t get mentioned in a career retrospective, let alone among the ever-expanding list of must-see entries in a genre already well past its peak.įor Stallone, however, it’s better late than never when it involves the superhero genre. Hitting the three-quarter-century mark usually means a retirement home, a nursing facility, or if you’re lucky to be blessed with relatively good health and savings to match, living in a gated community in Arizona or Florida.įor Sylvester Stallone, however, it means something else entirely: starring in the first superhero-centered film of his decades-long career in the much-delayed Samaritan. Michael Giacchino is also serving as its composer. Galyn Susman ( Toy Story 4, Ratatouille) produced. Lightyear is a sci-fi action-adventure film that hails from director and veteran Pixar animator Angus MacLane ( Finding Dory). “As Buzz tries to find a way back home through space and time, he’s joined by a group of ambitious recruits and his charming robot companion cat, Sox. Complicating matters and threatening the mission is the arrival of Zurg, an imposing presence with an army of ruthless robots and a mysterious agenda.” “The definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear, the hero who inspired the toy, Lightyear follows the legendary Space Ranger after he’s marooned on a hostile planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth alongside his commander and their crew,” says the official synopsis. Other cast members include Uzo Aduba, James Brolin, Mary McDonald-Lewis, as well as Efren Ramirez, and Isiah Whitlock Jr. Meanwhile, Peter Sohn voices Buzz’s robot companion, Sox.
The cast also features Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, and Taika Waititi as a group of ambitious recruits.
The Toy Story prequel follows the origin story of Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Avengers alum Chris Evans for the occasion.
