The second "Lightyear" trailer quickly establishes that Buzz gets thrown 62 years into the future after his test flight, and he has to partner up with Izzy Hawthorne (Keke Palmer), the granddaughter of his friend, Alisha Hawthorne (Uzo Aduba). Thankfully, he also has his faithful robot cat Sox (Peter Sohn) by his side to make sense of everything. 

If traveling to the future wasn't enough, he also has to avoid getting killed by Zurg's robotic empire. This sees Buzz and Izzy teaming up with a rag-tag team of soldiers — including Mo Morrison (Taika Waititi) and Darby Steele (Dale Soules) — to defeat the villain. The footage shows off the exciting vision for "Lightyear," giving fans a taste of just how big this new universe is. It's clear that Chris Evans gets to flex his comedic chops here too, backed up by talented stars like Palmer and Waititi.

Thankfully audiences don't have to wait 62 years for "Lightyear," since it arrives in theaters on June 17, 2022.
