Ryan Reynolds is the Voice of 'Detective Pikachu' in Movie's Newest Trailer
The little pocket monster sounds like Deadpool.
After plenty of news and voice actor fan casting, the first trailer for Pokémon: Detective Pikachu has surfaced. Not only does this mark the first non-anime Pokémon film, but it also showcases the first live-action adaptation of the iconic pocket monsters.
The footage above showcases a world in which real-life Pokémon exist and are ingratiated into a modern society. Although they only speak their names, our main protagonist Tim stumbles across a Pikachu (voiced by Ryan Reynolds) who can actually talk. Pikachu aids Tim in finding his world-renowned detective father, who is also his partner in solving mysteries. The same is based on the Nintendo 3DS title, Detective Pikachu.
The synopsis reads:
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.
