Boston-born actor Chris Evans is best known by Marvel and Disney fans for his role as Captain America (aka Steve Rogers) in the Captain AmericaĀ movies and theĀ AvengersĀ movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since his last movie as Steve Rogers and Captain America, the actor has not done much with Disney or Marvel — but now Chris Evans is back in the limelight as his new Disney and Pixar movie LightyearĀ comes to light!
Chris Evans is voicing the astronaut Buzz Lightyear (whereas Tim Allen voiced the toy Buzz Lightyear in theĀ Toy StoryĀ films from Pixar) in the new Pixar Animation Studios movie, and his new intergalactic film has coincided with his birthday on June 13, resulting in a lot of heartfelt birthday wishes from fans of the actor. Ironically, Tim Allen’s birthday is also on June 13!
“Happy birthday to my favorite Avenger”, one fan Tweeted, sharing photos of Chris Evans laughing with his famous arms-crossed pose mid-laugh.

She also added that Evans is a very “good dancer” who is also “brilliant at running charades” and loves game nights. “Heās one cool dude and I love him,” she added, finishing with a recommendation that birthday wishes be sent to the 41-year-old with “lots of punctuation and emojiās” (presumably in a sarcastic way).

Chris Evans has been gearing up for the press tour before the premiere ofĀ LightyearĀ on June 17, with interviews that include what is presumably the famous Buzzfeed puppy interview (an interview which is particularly perfect for the Knives OutĀ actor, since he is known for his love of dogs). Evans shared a peek of the said interview in the Tweet above.
Chris Evans is joined by Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi and the actresses Keke Palmer and Uzo Aduba in Lightyear. Are you excited to hear Chris Evans voicing Buzz Lightyear in the new movie from Pixar Animation Studios?
