Not much is known about this hotly anticipated sequel, but it will most likely focus on Weaving’s character Grace – a young bride who must take part in the murderous version of hide-and-seek after marrying into a wealthy family, who have a peculiar game-night ritual with deadly consequences.

Ready or Not also starred Adam Brody, Mark O’Brien, Elyse Levesque, Nicky Guadagni, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell, but Weaving is the only actress from the original film to make a comeback. Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and screenwriters Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy are also returning, with Radio Silence producing again.

Kathryn Newton is the first new cast member to join Weaving in a mystery role. She’s no stranger to acclaimed horror comedies, having recently starred in Lisa Frankenstein and Abigail. Her notable credits also include roles in the TV series Halt and Catch Fire, Big Little Lies, and The Society, plus films Blockers, Freaky, and the Ant-Man franchise.

The new film series was announced last summer by Legendary Entertainment and The Pokémon Company, and will be based on the “gotta catch ‘em all” franchise.

EW has confirmed that the Deadpool star is joining Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton. The story follows Detective Pikachu, to find Smith’s character, Tim Goodman, a young man in search of his missing father. Newton will play a sassy journalist who helps them on their quest.

Rob Letterman (Goosebumps) is directing the project, which is due to start shooting mid-January in London.

The movie will be the first live-action film of the franchise, who released several big screen adaptations in animated for in 1999 with Pokémon: The First Movie, followed by Pokémon: The Movie 2000, Pokémon 3: The Movie, Pokémon 4Ever, and Pokémon Heroes.

Other details of the project are being kept under wraps.

Before Reynolds sets off to catch ‘em all, he will return to the screen in Deadpool 2 set to open June 1.
