Live-action Detective Pikachu movie!

Details are scarce but Detective Pikachu will be on your screens and solving crimes in 2019! The movie will star Ryan Reynolds doing the detective part whilst Pikachu will be his trusty sidekick. Whilst surprisingly he will also voice everyone’s favourite pokemon! (Deadpool esque Detective Pikachu won’t appear, sadly!) The movie is based on a popular Nintendo 3DS game of the same name in Japan and we cannot wait for it!

Detective Pikachu: When can I see it?

Universal Pictures are hoping to start showing the live-action Pokemon film outside of Japan on 2019’s Mothers Day, May 10th 2019. Disney’s Avengers will be released a week prior. Which is smart from Universal because the sales will be disastrous for a Pokemon movie the same week as Avengers. Sorry Pikachu!
