You need to see it to believe it, but the first trailer for the live-action Pokemon movie, Detective Pikachu, has arrived. Like the 3DS game of the same name, Detective Pikachu follows Tim Goodman, the son of a missing private eye, as he teams up with his father’s ex-partner (the titular Detective Pikachu, voiced by Ryan Reynolds) to find his dad. And before you ask, yes, this is real movie that will actually play in theaters on May 10th, 2019.
Directed by Rob Letterman (Goosebumps, Monsters Vs. Aliens), Detective Pikachu will star Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) as Tim, Kathryn Newton (Lady Bird) as junior reporter Lucy, and Ken Watanabe (Godzilla) as Lt. Yoshida. Sadly, despite a massive petition, Danny DeVito didn’t get the lead role.
