We're just a few weeks away from the eagerly anticipated Toy Story 4, but it has now emerged that a fan favourite character from Toy Story 3 will NOT be returning! It's been nearly a decade since the last film, and whilst many of the favourites will be returning, Michael Keaton's Ken will not.

Batman actor Michael played the voice role of Ken in Toy Story 3, released in 2010, but recently it's been revealed that he will not be returning for the fourth installment. Speaking to Comicbook.com the film's director Josh Cooley said, "Ken is not in this film. He's back at Sunnyside Day Care."

Despite Ken being a new character in Toy Story 3, he became popular with fans of the franchise, however producer Jonas Rivera explained that whilst they love Ken as a character, there was too much going on in this film. "We love Ken too, there's a lot of characters," he told the press, saying it was a hard choice over which characters to keep in.
