For the Pixar animated featureCars 3, Lightning McQueen (voiced byOwen Wilson) is back, but the racing scene isn’t the same anymore and he’s realizing that he’s just not the rookie that he used to be. Blindsided by a new generation of ultra-fast racers, including its biggest star Jackson Storm (voiced byArmie Hammer), who has speed that he can’t compete with but no heart for the sport, McQueen realizes that he had to find new ways to adapt, which he hopes he can do with the help of trainer Cruz Ramirez (voiced byCristela Alonzo), or he’ll be pushed out of the sport he loves for good.
