Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is a live-action adaption of the 3DS title that released earlier this year on the Nintendo 3DS, which stars a talking Pikachu who works as a detective in Rhyme City. In the video game, Pikachu partners up with Tim Goodman to search for his missing father, who was also Pikachu’s old partner in crime. We don’t know if the plot of the film will feature the same story, but we do know that Ryan Reynolds will be providing voice and motion capture for the role of the famous electric mouse, Pikachu. Other Hollywood actors are also set to star in the film like Justice Smith (Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom) and Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies).
