Meet Duke Caboom.
As soon as we learned that Keanu Reeves was joining the cast of Toy Story 4, we were entirely on board.
Now, Disney has given us the first look at Reeves’ character — a Canadian stuntman toy called Duke Caboom. In a 30-second teaser trailer for the upcoming Toy Story 4, we see an in-universe ad for the toy which describes as “the Canuck with all the luck.”
Unfortunately, it quickly becomes apparent that the real Duke Caboom isn’t capable of all the impressive feats that he pulls off in his own commercial.

It also looks like there will be Duke Caboom toys coming to toyshop shelves pretty soon.

Other new characters introduced for Toy Story 4 include Ducky and Bunny (two stuffed animals who will be played by Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key) and Forky, a fork with a face who will be played by Tony Hale. There will also be a doll called Gabby Gabby, played by Christina Hendricks from Mad Men.
Toy Story 4 is set for release on 21 June.
