Much has been made of
Keanu Reeves' involvement in Toy Story 4, and in a newly released TV spot for the film, we're finally introduced to his character. As
leaked earlier this year, Reeves will provide the voice for Duke Caboom, a 1970s toy based on Canada's greatest stuntman.
Despite a commercial hailing him as "the most spectacular daredevil Canada has ever seen," it's soon revealed that Duke struggles with the fact that he's a toy and not a real stuntman who can pull off the magnificent motorcycle jumps seen on television.
"For years, Duke has been sitting in an antique store, constantly reliving the failures of his tragic past," Disney says of the character, whose personal identity crisis seems right in line with the overall theme of
Toy Story 4.
Woody (voice of Tom Hanks) has always been confident about his place in the world, and that his priority is taking care of his kid, whether that’s Andy or Bonnie. So when Bonnie’s beloved new craft-project-turned-toy, Forky (voice of Tony Hale), declares himself as “trash” and not a toy, Woody takes it upon himself to show Forky why he should embrace being a toy. But when Bonnie takes the whole gang on her family’s road trip excursion, Woody ends up on an unexpected detour that includes a reunion with his long-lost friend Bo Peep (voice of Annie Potts). After years of being on her own, Bo’s adventurous spirit and life on the road belie her delicate porcelain exterior. As Woody and Bo realize they’re worlds apart when it comes to life as a toy, they soon come to find that’s the least of their worries.
Toy Story 4 is due in theaters on June 20, 2019.
