Universal Pictures will release Legendary Entertainment’s live-action Pokémon film Detective Pikachu on May 10, 2019.
The film’s titular Detective Pikachu character debuted in the February 2016 Meitantei Pikachu Nintendo 3DS game in Japan.
The Hollywood Reporter described Reynolds’ character as “a peculiar sort from the Pikachu set, a self-styled investigator who is good at finding things.”
Ryan Reynolds will play Detective Pikachu in the film.
