Buzz voice actor Tim Allenannounced Reeves ' intimacy withToy Story 4last November , but neglected to bring up who ( or what ) he ’s sound in the plastic film . Disney - Pixar have now disclose that he ’s lending his vocals to Duke Caboom , a toy who shows up ( very in brief ) inthe full - lengthToy write up 4trailer . Here ’s the part ’s official verbal description , followed by the first still :
In the all - raw storey , Duke Caboom is a 1970s toy , found on Canada ’s greatest stuntman , who Woody meets in an antique computer memory . Riding his powerful Caboom stunt - cycle , Duke is always prepared to show off his stunt affectation with confidence and swagger . However , Woody find out quickly that Duke has an Achilles dog : He has never been capable to do the amazing stunts advertised in his own toy commercial . For year , Duke has been sitting in the antique store , always live over the failures of his tragic past .
Reeves enjoyed a life history resurgence some five years ago when he star in the legal action - thrillerJohn Wickand has since reprize the titular role twice ( including , for this May’sJohn Wick : Chapter 3 - Parabellum ) . patently , hisToy Story 4character will be a far cry from his part as " Baba Yaga " and should give Reeves a chance to turn his comedy muscleman again , before he ( possibly ) reprises his function as Ted Logan in the long - awaited subsequence , Bill & Ted Face the Music . According toToy Storyproducer Jonas Rivera , Reeves was great fun to watch as he catch into character for theToy Storysequel . Here ’s the statement that Rivera issued on the subject :
“ The first time [ director Josh Cooley ] and I talked with Keanu about the role , Keanu became Duke Caboom . Keanu was asking great questions that dug deeply to happen the soul of the fibre . At one point he suffer up on the table in the middle of Pixar ’s atrium and light upon poses while proclaim triumph . It was so curious . It ’s all in the movie and it ’s all Keanu . "
Of naturally , Reeves is also Canadian ( or , rather , he grew up in Toronto ) , which makes his casting as Duke Caboom all the more fitting . It also sounds like the fictitious character has something of a tragical past , which is nothing uncommon for toys in theToy Storyfranchise . Reeves has long had a special talent for both broad drollery and depict grapheme who are lonely and/or struggling with their previous failure , so his role inToy chronicle 4sounds like a gross compeer for the worker . Indeed , we would n’t be at all surprised if Duke Caboom ends up being a panorama - stealer .
