What New Voice Actors Will Join Toy Story 5?
‘There’s a snake in my boot!’
Almost everybody will know which character says that line – Woody from Toy Story! Technically, it’s Tom Hanks, but the line is infamous, as is the role of Hanks and voice actor behind Buzz Lightyear’s character, Tim Allen.
On February 8, 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger gave fans some shocking news, announcing that Pixar will be releasing Toy Story 5. The franchise in 2024 is worth an estimated $3.3 billion, but what surprised many fans was that in Toy Story 4, the ending seemed complete.
It saw Woody and Buzz go their separate ways, with Buzz and the rest of the toys returning to Bonnie and Woody joining Bo Peep and the rest of her friends. It should also be noted that when Toy Story 3 aired, many fans felt that Andy giving the toys to Bonnie was the ending of the franchise.
The news that Toy Story 5 will be released in June 2026 was met with mixed reception. Some fans were ecstatic, and others were questioning if it was worth it at all.
Irrespective, it is happening, and now the question comes to the front: will there be any new voice actors?

Toy Story 5: What is The Plot?
First, it needs to be assessed whether the new story has room for more voice actors.
So far, The sequels have given space for new voice actors, including the amazing Kelsey Grammer (or Sideshow Bob/ Fraser) in Toy Story 2. So, it stands to reason that there would be a chance for more characters to be introduced and for more vocal work to be available.
So, the somewhat open-shut case for the end of Toy Story 4 showed the two lead toys going their separate ways, and as Disney has not released any hints so far as to what the storyline will be, there is a chance that it could be split into two parts. One story may focus on Woody and Bo, with the other focusing on Buzz and the gang, with the two coming together.
Fans have also speculated that Toy Story 5 may see Andy’s return as he graduates from college. Or, perhaps it will be set further in the future, with Andy having kids of his own. Voice actor for Buzz Lightyear, Tim Allen, has stated that even though Toy Story 4 appeared to be the final instalment, he believes that in Toy Story 5, Andy will be the key to reuniting Buzz and Woody.
So, there’s plenty of room around any of these storylines for new famous vocal actors like Keanu Reeves, Joan Cusack, Kelsey Grammer and, of course, the fabulous Michael Keaton to star.
