In Pixar's Cars 3, which actor voices Lightning McQueen's modern racing rival Jackson Storm?

The story behind the answer

Armie Hammer voices Jackson Storm in Pixar's Cars 3.

Jackson Storm is a next-generation race car whose advanced design, data-driven training, and powerful performance make him a formidable opponent for Lightning McQueen. His arrival represents the technological shift transforming stock-car racing in the film.

Storm's confidence becomes threatening when he dismisses McQueen and other older racers. Their rivalry gives the story its central conflict: McQueen must decide whether to keep competing exactly as before or adapt to a new role.

Hammer's voice performance gives Storm a polished but coldly competitive personality. In the original English version, the cast also includes Owen Wilson as McQueen, Cristela Alonzo as Cruz Ramirez, and Chris Cooper as Smokey, Doc Hudson's former crew chief.
