The first Detective Pikachu trailer is here!
The trailer for the first-ever live-action film centered on Pokemon was dropped Monday by the film’s star Ryan Reynolds. The Deadpool star turned in his red suit to voice star as the adorable titular character.
“I think we all knew I’d wind up as a miniature detective repeatedly saying the same two words,” he captioned the trailer.
The trailer boasts Ryme City, a city where humans and Pokémon live side by side and focuses on detective Pikachu, who finds himself in the home of Tim, a young man who desperately wants to find his missing father. Pikachu then discovers that Tim can actually understand him, while everyone else hears only, “Pika pika.” The trailer also features other beloved Pokemons, including Jigglypuff, Charizard and Psyduck.
The film also stars Justice Smith, Rita Ora, Ken Watanabe, Bill Nighy, and Suki Waterhouse.
Detective Pikachu hits theaters May 10, 2019.
