Where Buzz Lightyear goes, so does his eternal nemesis, Evil Emperor Zurg, the sworn enemy of the Galactic Alliance. So just as this summer’s Lightyear will reimagine its titular hero, with Chris Evans taking over as the legendary Space Ranger from Toy Story‘s Tim Allen, it will also feature a revamped version of Zurg. The armored villain had previously been glimpsed in earlier promos, but his full form was finally unveiled in the final trailer, which dropped online this Thursday.
In keeping with the movie’s more serious take on Buzz and his mythology, this Zurg is a lot more intimidating a threat, appearing as less of a cliched cartoon bad guy and more like an oversized video game boss. Interestingly, it seems the Lightyear team drew from anime influences for this new Zurg, as revealed by art director Greg Peltz. The Hollywood Reporter spoke with Peltz in the wake of the final trailer’s release, who opened up about the challenging process of updating Zurg.
