In Pixar's Cars 3, who voices the modern racing champion Jackson Storm?

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

Jackson Storm is a highly advanced next-generation racer who challenges Lightning McQueen after a wave of technologically superior competitors enters the sport. His sleek design, aggressive confidence, and performance statistics represent the changing nature of professional racing in the film.

Storm is the principal rival in Cars 3, while Cruz Ramirez begins as Lightning's trainer at the Rust-eze Racing Center. The film contrasts Lightning's experience with the newer racers' advanced simulation, data, and engineering. That contrast drives Lightning to reconsider how he can compete.

Armie Hammer is the actor behind Storm's voice, not the performer who voices Lightning. Owen Wilson voices Lightning McQueen, and Cristela Alonzo voices Cruz Ramirez. Cars 3 was released in 2017 and focuses more strongly on racing history and mentorship than Cars 2.
