Tom Hanks recently opened up about potential return for Toy Story 6 release.

The American actor, who made a comeback as Woody in Toy Story 5, weighed in on the future of sixth installment.

In his latest interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tom said that the franchise should only pursue if there is a real creative reason behind it.

“If you’re gonna do another Toy Story, it better be worthwhile,” he told the outlet.

Interestingly, the Forrest Gump actor went on saying, “It better be great.”

“You are examining some theme that is not just dragging it out because people like the title,” noted the 69-year-old.

The Cast Away actor pointed out that 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,” added Tom.

Elsewhere in the interview, A Man Called Otto actor talked about the importance of AI in Toy Story franchise.

“Time is undefeated… The question would be whether or not we could cobble together some version of me,” remarked the Saving Private Ryan actor.

Tom further said, “Every word we have ever recorded in time in Toy Story is on digital media somewhere, so they could put together anything they would want.”

However, the actor agreed that thinking of AI playing Woody role is a “scary thought”.
