Tom Hanks has officially confirmed that production is underway for Toy Story 5, marking a major update for fans of the beloved Pixar franchise. In a new behind-the-scenes photo posted to Instagram, the actor is seen in a recording booth holding up five fingers while standing in front of a microphone, indicating he has begun voice work on the upcoming sequel.
Hanks, who has voiced the iconic cowboy Woody since the original Toy Story film in 1995, did not provide a caption with the image, but the gesture alone was enough to excite fans and confirm that the project is moving forward. His post quickly gained traction online, with many expressing excitement about the return of the franchise and what lies ahead for its characters.
Although Disney has not released plot details or an official release date for Toy Story 5, the studio previously confirmed that the film was in development. The announcement came as part of a broader update on Pixar’s upcoming slate, which also includes sequels to other fan-favorite properties.
The last installment, Toy Story 4, was released in 2019 and concluded with Woody parting ways with Buzz Lightyear and the rest of the gang, raising questions about the direction a fifth movie might take. Whether the new film continues Woody’s solo journey or reunites him with his old friends remains to be seen.
As production progresses, fans can expect more updates from the cast and creative team. For now, Hanks' image offers the first concrete sign that the next chapter in the Toy Story saga is officially underway.
Further information, including casting, storyline details, and release timing, is expected to be announced by Disney and Pixar in the coming months.
