Combat Carl Will Return
Information emerged that Tom Hanks has started recording for Toy Story 5, coincidentally around the same time as we learned that Combat Carl, a toy inspired by G.I. Joe characters, was voiced by Carl Weathers – the Rocky series actor who tragically passed away in February 2024 at the age of 76.
It’s been announced that Combat Carl will reappear in Toy Story 5, but this time he will be given voice by Ernie Hudson, who is famously recognized as Winston Zeddemore from the Ghostbusters franchise.

Pixar Chief Teases a New Direction for Toy Story 5
In March, Pete Docter, who serves as Pixar’s Chief Creative Officer, stated that future films would have a quicker tempo compared to their predecessors. “I believe movies are moving at a faster pace now, from Toy Story 1 to Toy Story 4, the visual intricacy and pacing have significantly increased,” Docter explained, emphasizing that they aim to stay attuned to the speed of contemporary life.
In simpler terms, “Andrew Stanton has skillfully allowed the moments in Toy Story 5 to unfold in unique and thought-provoking ways. Some scenes might make you question if this is still a Toy Story movie, which I believe is crucial at this stage given that we’ve had four previous installments. It’s important to keep audiences surprised, so it promises to be an enjoyable experience,” said Docter.
The fifth installment of Toy Story, titled Toy Story 5, is scheduled to hit theaters on June 19, 2026. Currently, you can stream the Toy Story series on Disney+.
