Taika Waititi, who voices the character of Mo Morrison in the film, added: “We’re hoping for a time when we don’t even have to have this conversation. In a recent interview during a premiere of the film on June 8, Chris Evans – who voices Buzz Lightyear in the film – responded to the blowback to the same-sex kiss scene: “It’s great that we are a part of something that’s making steps forward in the social inclusion capacity, but it’s frustrating that there are still places that aren’t where they should be.”
Lightyear will premiere in UK cinemas on June 17. The film will follow a young Buzz and his crew as they navigate their way through a hostile planet while facing an evil that looms over the galaxy. Lightyear fleshes out the backstory of Buzz Lightyear, a main character of the beloved Toy Story franchise.
