In Pixar’s Cars 3, who voices the next-generation racer Jackson Storm?

In Pixar’s Cars 3, Armie Hammer voices the next-generation racer Jackson Storm.

Jackson Storm is a sleek, technologically advanced race car who represents a new generation of racers. His confidence and speed create the central competitive threat for Lightning McQueen, whose traditional racing experience is no longer enough to guarantee victory.

Armie Hammer supplied Storm’s speaking voice in the English-language version. Hammer is also known for live-action roles in films such as The Social Network and Call Me by Your Name. The character’s design and performance contrast with Lightning’s older, more familiar stock-car style.

Cars 3 focuses on Lightning’s attempt to adapt rather than simply defeat an opponent through determination. A common mix-up is confusing Jackson Storm with Chick Hicks, the primary rival in the first Cars movie, or with Francesco Bernoulli, the Italian racer from Cars 2.
