Development

In February 2019, Tim Allen, who voiced Buzz Lightyear in the films, expressed interest in doing another film as he "did not see any reason why they would not do it".[2] In May 2019, producer Mark Nielsen confirmed that Pixar will return its focus to making original films instead of sequels after Toy Story 4 for a while.[3] On The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Tom Hanks stated that the film would be the final film in the series. He said to Ellen DeGeneres that Tim Allen had "warned him about the emotional final goodbye between their characters Woody and Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 4."[4] However, Nielsen did not rule out a possibility of a fifth film, stating, "Every film we make, we treat it like it's the first and the last film we're ever going to make, so you force yourself to make it hold up. You don't get in over your skis. Whether there's another one? I don't know. If there is, it's tomorrow's problem."[5]

Shortly after the fourth film's release, Annie Potts said that despite her not knowing if another film would be made, she believes a lot of fans will be interested to see what the toys do next.[6] A few months before the film's release, Allen hinted that a fifth film is possible, while also expressing interest in doing another film, stating, "Once you've gotten to four, you're passed that trilogy [point], so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't do it, certainly. If you ask me, I'd say do five."[7]

In February 2023, during the Q1 earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that the fifth film is in active development.[8] Later that day, Allen confirmed that he would return to voice Buzz Lightyear in the film.[1] Later in the month, Pixar CCO and franchise alumni, Pete Docter stated that the film will be "surprising" and will have "cool things you've never seen before."[9]
