Following a tease by Toy Story 4 star Tim Allen, Keanu Reeves has now confirmed that he has a role in Pixar's upcoming animated film.
During an interview with Collider; Reeves detailed being approached by Pixar and, as well as confirming a role, revealed that he's begun recording his part. “I got a call which was really cool out the blue from the lovely people at Pixar and the creators of this number, this edition, or continuation of the story. They pitched the character to me and then we spoke and they allowed me to kind of riff on it.”
We currently don't know anything about Reeves' role, other than that Tim Allen thinks that it's a great part - as he previously revealed. The Buzz Lightyear said as such: "New guys are in it. Keanu Reeves has got a great part in it. Inside story, even the fun, gentle guy that he is, even he said, 'This sounds too much like Buzz Lightyear.' And his character does have an edge to that."
What do you think of Reeves' involvement with Toy Story 4? Are you looking forward to the sequel?
Toy Story 4 is set to arrive in theatres on June 21st, 2019.
