Today, Warner Bros. dropped the first trailer for the movie:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ICgkpfApVmM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If you did a double take and swore you could hear Deadpool&#8217;s voice coming out of Pikachu&#8217;s body, don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;re not losing it. It\u00a0is indeed the dulcet, sarcastic tones of Ryan Reynolds bringing to life the fuzzy little furball previously known for squeaking nothing more than &#8220;Pika pika!&#8221; But the weirdness of the fluffy yellow Pok\u00e9mon having the voice of the man best known for playing an ultraviolent\u00a0mercenary with a sick sense of humor somehow&#8230;works? We think it works. It brings a zany sense of fun to a world populated with strange little critters.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is loosely based on the <em>Great Detective Pikachu<\/em> video game, where Pikachu is &#8211; you guessed it &#8211; a detective. Rising star Justice Smith (<em>The Get Down<\/em>) is playing Tim Goodman, a boy who befriends Pikachu in the game. The storyline for the film looks to follow a similar path, as Pikachu and Tim work together to untangle the mystery of what happened to Tim&#8217;s dad, a former police detective in Ryme City, a place where Pok\u00e9mon and humans (mostly) peacefully coexist. Unlike in the game, however, Tim seems a lot less eager to team up with a talking Pok\u00e9mon only he can hear and understand.<\/p>\n<p>Smith and Reynolds are part of a talented ensemble cast that includes another rising star in Kathryn Newton (<em>Supernatural<\/em>, <em>Big Little Lies<\/em>), who is seen briefly in the trailer with her Pok\u00e9mon, Psyduck, Ken Watanabe as Detective Yoshida, and Bill Nighy, Suki Waterhouse, and Rita Ora in undisclosed roles. Rob Letterman (<em>Goosebumps, Shark Tale<\/em>) is set to direct, and the script was penned by him and Nicole Perlman (<em>Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>), based on an earlier script by Alex Hirsch (<em>Gravity Falls<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atomtickets.com\/movies\/pokmon-detective-pikachu\/263686\"><em>Detective Pikachu<\/em><\/a> will be in theaters on May 10, 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>You Might Also Like<\/h2>\n<hr style=\"color: #000; width: 95%; margin-left: 0;\" \/>\n<!-- The Grid Plugin Version 2.7.4 --><div class=\"tg-error-msg\" data-grid-name=\"Home Featured\">No post was found with your current grid settings.&#xa;You should verify if you have posts inside the current selected post type(s) and if the meta key filter is not too much restrictive.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a few years now, fans of Pok\u00e9mon have been eagerly anticipating the upcoming Pok\u00e9mon\u00a0Detective Pikachu movie adaptation.
