Woody reunites with Bo Peep in Toy Story 4

Woody discovers the long lost Bo Peep in the latest trailer for Disney and Pixar’s upcoming animated sequel, Toy Story 4.

The clip begins with Woody (Tom Hanks) introducing a new character Forky (Tony Hale) to Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen) and the rest of Bonnie’s toys.

Forky is a utensil Bonnie outfitted with pipe cleaners and googly eyes to turn him into her own unique toy. Facing an identity crisis, Forky escapes from Bonnie’s moving car with Woody in hot pursuit. The stranded pair then come across Bo Peep (Annie Potts), who was missing in action from 2010’s Toy Story 3.

Woody is introduced to Bo Peep’s new life living near a carnival where she doesn’t have to worry about being abandoned by her owner again. Woody must then decide if he should travel back to Bonnie or live out his days free with Bo Peep.

Toy Story 4 is set to arrive in theatres on June 21.

Will Smith’s new movie role

Variety confirmed that the 50-year-old actor will portray Richard, Venus and Serena Williams’ father and former tennis coach, in the movie King Richard.

King Richard will recount how Richard overcame hardship, scepticism, controversy and his own troubled past to teach Venus and Serena to play tennis, despite not having a background in the sport.

It is said that Richard drew up a 78-page plan for Venus and Serena’s professional tennis careers when the pair were about four years old. He started giving his daughters tennis lessons at public courts in Compton, Calif.

Serena and Venus’ careers took off after Serena won the US Open in 1999 and Venus won Wimbledon the next year. Serena has won 23 individual Grand Slam tournaments, while Venus has seven individual Grand Slam titles.
