Lightyear’s James Brolin made a hysterical confrontation between Zurg and Thanos, who is played by his son.

The evil emperor Zurg of the toy story The franchise isn’t the same villain that audiences will see on screen next movie Light year. Without revealing any details, many changes have been made to this character that present him as a more serious threat than ever; and screen legend James Brolin is a big part of that transformation. While he doesn’t know much about the part that was going on, Brolin can now make a hysterical comparison between his Disney / Pixar villain and his son Josh Brolin’s MCU Thanos.

Light years Press day was an amazing experience that I was able to participate in, allowing me to talk to some of the cast and crew behind the film. Time Chris Evans had some help figuring this out Light year role like the “real” Buzz Lightyear, many of the other cast members on the project said they were taking on their roles blindly. Knowing what you now know about the new and improved Zurg, James Brolin shared these thoughts on how he compares to Thanos with Gossipify:

Father versus son might be the kind of thing Disney fans are used to Star Wars galaxy, but it would be a cross battle between Zurg and Thanos extremely Interesting. Watching and hearing these two crazy titans face off is a showdown worthy of any toy box, especially if Josh and James Brolin are up to it. then again, Josh Brolin interviewed himself about Thanos so this seems an indication that the ending of the Avengers The actor is ready for anything.

The changes to the scale and motivation of Buzz Lightyear’s latest foe made the game more terrifying. Zurg shown in Light years trailers . If there is anyone who could face Thanos, it’s the variant that shoots lasers from his mysterious robotic suit. No offense to the toy version of toy story 2, voiced by Pixar creative mind Andrew Stanton, but as James Brolin himself put it, Thanos wiped out half the universe. He is not a threat that ping pong balls and a laser pointer can handle.

As silly as that argument may be, it’s also part of the reason the film works so well. As I pointed out in Light years official examination , co-writer / director Angus MacLane’s treatment of the material goes beyond what most people might have expected. After all, it’s the movie that young Andy sees in toy story universe that inspires you to start collecting Buzz Lightyear toys. The ultimate challenge was to nail the film’s reality within the film, and the right hero needs the right villain to do that.

With no details in play, let’s say the Zurg’s Light year he’s definitely someone Thanos would identify with, but he’ll also see as a potential enemy. Disney fans old and new have a lot to look forward to with James Brolin’s new twist on an old foe, and they can take off at tonight’s premiere screenings. Of course, Disney + subscribers those who seek to go into infinity and beyond can take advantage of the toy story collection of titles, thanks to this same streaming service.
