Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu - First Look Trailer Released!

The very first trailer for Pokémon Detective Pikachu, featuring Ryan Reynolds voicing the title character!

Ryan announced the brand new trailer on his Instagram account, writing, “I think we all knew I’d wind up as a miniature detective repeatedly saying the same two words. Just didn’t think it would be this soon. #PikaPika #detectivepikachu.”

The story begins when ace private eye 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.

Justice Smith, Suki Waterhouse, Rita Ora and more also star in the movie, in theaters on May 10, 2019.
