ZSharf See All Tom Hanks as Woody

Tom Hanks is back as Woody in “Top Story 5,” which set a franchise record with its massive $312 million worldwide opening. Given the enduring popularity of the 31-year-old franchise, people are already wondering if “Toy Story 6” is an inevitability. But would two-time Oscar winner Hanks return as Woody in a sixth movie?

“If you’re gonna do another ‘Toy Story,’ it better be worthwhile,” Hanks told Entertainment Weekly. “It better be great. You better be examining some theme that is not just dragging it out because people like the title. I mean, it is a huge corporate business without a doubt, I’m not gonna discount that. But unless it’s good, new, fresh, there’s no reason to do it at all.”
