However, every team of heroes ends up face to face with a villain, and for Buzz Lightyear that can only be Zurg. But this time around audiences should expect some surprises from the iconic villain they think they know. As voice of Zurg James Brolin says, “[I] realized that my character was much more complex than I had imagined. Even at this point, I'm not supposed to tell you everything that Zurg is — but he is certainly multiple personalities, and a conman.” This is a name that I’m sure you’ve heard of once or twice over the last couple of years.

I think Izzy’s most heroic trait is that she knows how to get her team engaged and empowered. She knows how to get everybody involved. And I think the team is always the best way to finish your goal. To recap: Taika Waititi’s Mo is someone who will not quit to find a use for his suit’s pen, and Keke Palmer’s Izzy has the ability to use history and inspiration to get her team on board. Which makes the question of what heroism Dale Soules’ Darby Steel brings to Lightyear even more exciting.
