Legendary Teases New 'Detective Pikachu' Trailer Dropping Tomorrow
Pika Pika- we're apparently getting a new Detective Pikachu trailer tomorrow, at least according to Legendary Pictures in a new tease posted this morning.
Ryan Reynolds stars as the title character, electric type Pokémon Pikachu, with a love for solvin' mysteries. There was also this video posted by Reynolds this morning, "Outside the Actor's Studio":
The official synopsis for Detective Pikachu as released by Legendary Pictures:
"The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery.
Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe."
The first live-action Pokémon film is directed by Rob Letterman, and co-written by Nicole Perlman. The film stars Ryan Reynolds (as the voice of the titular Pikachu), Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Ken Watanabe, Khary Payton, Bill Nighy, Suki Waterhouse, Chris Geere, Rita Ora, and Omar Chaparro.
Detective Pikachu will hit theaters on May 10th 2019.
