Tom Hanks teases Toy Story 5 as he reveals first day in recording booth
Tom Hanks has started working on 'Toy Story 5'.
The 68-year-old actor has voiced the role of toy cowboy Woody in the Disney Pixar animation franchise since the first film was released in 1995, and took to social media late on Sunday (21.04.25) evening to reveal that he had been back in the studio so he could commence recording on the upcoming instalment.
Alongside a picture of all five fingers splayed out by a microphone, he wrote on Instagram: "First day of work on a certain Story Number 5! Need a hint? Disney. Studio B."
His post comes just months after his co-star Tim Allen - who will be reprising his voice role as Buzz Lightyear in the upcoming flick - now spilled that the plot will see Buzz trying to get his love interest Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack) out of "big trouble".
During an appearance on 'Good Morning America', he said: "I've already begun, I'm in the third act now. It's remarkable what they've done … with Pixar they didn't say I couldn't say anything but … I wish I could.
"There's a lot of real intrigue with Buzz. Jessie's got a big trouble, she needs help, so it's a really cool thing."
'Toy Story 5', is expected to follow the gang as they are forced to compete against technology for their child's playtime.
Previously, Allen said that 'Toy Story 5' had a "brilliant script" and insisted the upcoming sequel was not "about the money".
Speaking to Collider towards the end of last year, he shared: "I just did the first five-hour session for Buzz, probably a week ago. It's really, really weird to get back in it.
"It's a very, very clever story. Do you wanna do five of these [films]? I don't really believe it's about the money. I'm sure they want it to be a success, but that's not why they did it.
"Had they not come up with a brilliant script, they wouldn't have done it and they wouldn't have called me and Tom. It's really clever."
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced in February 2023 that there would be a fifth movie but did not give any details.
However, in November 2023, Allen revealed he and Hanks had both been approached about reprising their roles and it was later confirmed that a release date of 19 June 2026 had been set.

Meghan shares video of Lilibet's Disneyland celebration
The Duchess of Sussex has shared another intimate video of the family celebrating Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday at Disneyland. The post on Instagram showed the family enjoying rides at the California attraction, drawing comparisons with Prince Harry's childhood trip to Florida's Walt Disney World with Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1993. The montage also features a clip of Archie, six, and Lili meeting Disney princess Elsa, from the film Frozen. Meghan wears a Minnie Mouse hat in some of the snaps featured in the video, while another image shows a two-tier Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake for Lili. The duchess captioned the video: "Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!" The footage was reminiscent of photos taken of the duke when he was eight and his mother Diana took him and William to Walt Disney World. At the time, the royal siblings were photographed sitting at the front of a log on the Splash Mountain ride, with adults from their mother's entourage behind them and Diana seated at the back. Meghan's post follows several family shots in recent days to mark Lili's birthday. In one, she posted a throwback video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with the princess, while another post featured a black and white snap of her cuddling Lili. In another post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was "the sweetest bond to watch unfold". She shared two photos of the princess with her father, the duke, adding: "Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer. Happy birthday Lili!" Lili - the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's youngest child - was born on June 4 2021 and was named Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. Lilibet is named after her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Jessie J 'so grateful for the love and support' after breast cancer diagnosis
Jessie J has thanked her fans for their outpouring of "love and support" following her breast cancer diagnosis. The 37-year-old pop star went public with her health issues earlier this week revealing she is battling an "early" form of the disease and is currently undergoing tests before surgery later in the year - and she now has expressed her gratitude to everyone who has reached out to her since she explained her situation. In a post on Instagram, she wrote: "So grateful for all the love and support and kindness from everyone who has reached out to me in the last two days." Jessie - who is mother to two-year-old son Sky with basketball star Chanan Colman - previously revealed she was given the diagnosis prior to the release of her single, 'New Secrets' on April 25 and she has been "in and out of tests" since. She said in an Instagram video: "Before 'No Secrets' came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer. I'm highlighting the word 'early'. "Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period." Jessie went "back and forth" with herself about whether she should share her news, due to there being "lots of opinions outside". However, the 'Who You Are' singer felt she should tell all, particularly because of the name of her latest single, 'No Secrets', which was inspired by a miscarriage she had in 2021. She said: "To get diagnosed with this, as I'm putting out a song called 'No Secrets' right before a song called 'Living My Best Life,' which was all pre-planned before I found out about this, I mean you can't make it up. "I just wanted to be open and share it - one, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. "I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me, with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. "I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much, similar and worse. That's the bit that kills me." Jessie is still planning to perform at this year's Capital Summertime Ball on June 15 at London's Wembley Stadium, but afterwards she will undergo surgery and "disappear for a bit". She said: "It wasn't something I'd planned, but yeah. I'm getting to keep my nipples, that's good. It's a weird topic and a weird situation. "I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t*ts and more music." The 'Price Tag' hitmaker joked: "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job."
