The trailer for Disney and Pixar's next big blockbuster has landed, you can watch the Lightyear trailer below.
Lightyear will bring us the origin story of Buzz Lightyear – of the Toy Story movie franchise fame, if you're not familiar.
But where Buzz was a toy based on a (we assumed) fictional figure in the Toy Story movies, in Lightyear we're given a full back story to the 'Space Ranger' himself.
As for when you'll be able to watch the movie, the Lightyear release date is currently set for 'Summer 2022', so we'd expect sometime between June and August next year.
Yet, take a look at the movie poster Disney tweeted just before it dropped the trailer, and that suggests the Lightyear release date will be June 2022 – so mark your calendars now.

Adam Vjestica, Senior Gaming Writer
“That trailer did not move me at all.
“I don't care about a real life spaceman.
“I want toy spaceman.
