Chris Evans compares playing Buzz
in Lightyear to his Captain America
role. After retiring from his shieldwielding
role as the Marvel supersoldier
Steve Rogers/ Captain
America in Avengers: Endgame,
Evans is leading Disney Pixar's Toy
Story spin-off movie as the test
pilot/astronaut Buzz Lightyear.
Previously, Tim Allen voiced the toy
version of Buzz in the Toy Story
movies. But for Lightyear, which
Finding Dory co-helmer Angus
MacLane is directing in his solo
feature debut, Evans has taken over
the role to accommodate for the
story and world differences.
Lightyear is described as an origin
story for the titular space ranger,
and it tracks the hero's adventure as
he finds his way back home through
time and space from a hostile,
faraway planet.
Following Avengers: Endgame,
Evans has played against type in
Puja’s ‘Hridita’ to hit
theaters on Oct 7
TBT REPORT
Puja Cherry's upcoming
government grant film titled
'Hridita' is all set to hit theaters on
October 7. The film with a
storyline adapted from a novel by
fiction writer Anisul Haque is
produced by duo director
Ispahani- Arif Jahan.
On Saturday Aug 6, the first look
of the film was revealed and the
release date was announced.
Earlier, on March 17, the movie
was allowed to be released without
any censor cuts and also received a
government grant of Tk 55 lakh in
the financial year 2019-20.
Regarding the context Puja said,
"The duo Ispahani- Arif Jahan is
one of the best directors in our
industry. This will be the first time
I am going to work for a storyline
adapted from a novel.
I will try my best to portray the
character Hridita just as the book
and reach the hearts of the
audience.
'Hridita' will not disappoint the
audience. I believe the audience
will like it and I am very optimistic
about the film.''
Puja Cherry will be seen playing
the lead role as Hridita in the film,
apart from her the film will also
feature 'Dhaka Attack' famed actor
ABM Sumon opposite her.
It is learnt that writer Anisul
Haque wrote the dialogues of the
film and the screenplay was done
by the director himself. The trailer
and songs of the movie will be
released soon before the release of
the film. It has two songs sung by
Chandan Sinha and Sinthi Saha.
Evans compares ‘Captain
America’ to ‘Buzz Lightyear’
some of his projects, taking on
antagonistic roles in movies such as
Knives Out and The Gray Man.
Audiences have had fun seeing that
side of Evans' range, but they'll soon
get to see him play another wellmeaning
hero. When hearing Evans
voice Buzz in the Lightyear trailers,
it's hard to not think back to his
Steve Rogers, and now Evans has
compared the two.
Speaking with THR, Evans
discussed his experience playing
both Captain America and Buzz
Lightyear. As the actor points out,
there are both, parallels and
dissimilarities, between the
characters, and portraying each was
a uniquely rewarding experience. As
the Knives Out star puts it, Both
Buzz and Steve are responsible and
competent leaders, but as people,
they just have different personas. So
Evans borrowed the qualities from
Steve that would be applicable to his
role as Buzz, otherwise, he left the
distinguishing features to secure
Cap and Buzz's originality. Read
what Evans said below.
"The characters themselves have a
lot of similar overlap in terms of
their sense of responsibility and
leadership. But they're very different
men, so you take the things that are
useful and you leave the things that
make Cap, Cap."
As Evans had explained earlier,
the actor took a minute before he
could find his own version of Buzz
for Lightyear. His natural instinct
when he approached the role was to
do a "shameless Tim Allen
impression," and he found
Lightyear's iconic "To infinity and
beyond" line very intimidating at
first. But ultimately, with MacLane's
help, Evans was able to discover his
own Buzz voice, and come into his
own for the role.

ARIEs
Today your intellectual and
expressive abilities should receive a
boost from the planets. It's an
excellent time to organize your thoughts about
presenting a project to a possible collaborator,
engage in trade, or write. In terms of your
private life, it's also a good time to examine the
latest events, certain aspects of which are still
partially misunderstood.
TAURUs
Overall, the forecast for today is fairly
good. The aspects seem to favor figuring
out the meaning of all that's transpired
over the past several weeks. It's an
opportunity for you to take a leisurely look at the
distance you've covered moving toward your goals.
Since it's an auspicious day for social activities, why not
get together with friends and discuss the latest events
with them?
GEMINI
Have you felt somewhat lost for the past
few days? The fog may lift today and
enable you to situate yourself at last.
You're probably eager to settle a
question that has nagged at you and interfered with
your judgment. However, you should be patient,
especially if it has to do with emotional matters. Try
to understand, but don't take immediate action.
You'll be more objective beginning tomorrow.
cANcER
You may have been feeling somewhat
disillusioned. Perhaps you lost sight of
your goals or misplaced your faith in
yourself. You'll feel some relief
beginning today. This is an opportunity to end what
has been a somewhat apathetic and moody phase
and begin a new one that's based on work and
meditation. As you can imagine, this new phase will
be much more fulfilling!
LEO
You might be tempted to settle certain
matters by radical means. The
visionary part of you means you're
painfully aware of the world's wrongs.
You see no reason not to take action to correct them.
But the forces in play are so powerful that you can't
expect to institute a new order in one day. If you
have an emotional question to resolve, it would be
better to wait a few days before making a decision.
VIRGO
Today will be fairly calm in terms of
outside events, but your inner world is
likely to be in a rush of activity. Today you
wish you could find the solution to your
heartaches as well as your career predicaments. You'd
like to achieve some supreme understanding of the
events that took place over the past month. First you
must force your brain to slow down. Haste makes
waste, as you know!
LIBRA
You have a lot of thinking to do about
your professional goals, Libra. You'll go
over the elements to see if there isn't
some way to approach things differently.
Are there new paths you could try or ways to improve
things? Your mind will go a thousand miles a minute
today. Those who spend time with you may be totally
exhausted by the end of the day because of all the
questions you ask!
scORPIO
You just can't do everything at once,
Scorpio. How do you expect to reduce
your stress and recuperate while at
the same time continue to be a
superstar performer in every area of your life?
Don't pressure yourself to perform today. If you do,
you're likely to deplete your reserves even further.
Take it easy, rest, and relax! You've earned this
little break.
sAGITTARIUs
This is a good moment to adapt your logic
and reason to reality, Sagittarius. If you
don't, you're going to run into some
intellectual problems. Everyone knows that you find new
ideas plentiful, but unless you have plans to be a novelist,
link your thinking to reality. The "pie in the sky" thinking
that you engage in isn't particularly useful to the rest of
us living here in the real world.
cAPRIcORN
It's going to be a little difficult talking
to you today, Capricorn. You, who can
be easily influenced by others, will be
listening to and criticizing everything
that people say. Nothing emotional or vague is
going to get into your head. It's as if you've installed
an extremely fine filter that lets in only what you
allow. You're going to appear to be a real expert.
Don't show off too much!
AQUARIUs
Have you been reviewing your family
history lately, Aquarius? Of special
interest is your cultural background.
What educational, social, and religious
environment were you born into? What are its
values? In the end, do you feel a strong affinity with
them now or are those views different from the ones
you hold? These are interesting avenues of thought
for you today.
PIscEs
It's time to elevate your sense of self,
Pisces. You're just as good as anyone
else, so why don't you believe it? The
problem is that you're very sensitive
about having an ego. Even though you know
everyone does, you punish yourself for its existence!
This is a noble idea, but it doesn't do you any good.
You'll never be perfect and neither will anyone else.
What are you worrying about?
