New 'Detective Pikachu' Reveals Even More of the Pokemon Adventure
A new trailer for "Detective Pikachu" is here with even more of the wisecracking, mystery-solving Pokemon voiced by Ryan Reynolds.
While there isn't much new footage here, the trailer provides a few more glimpses of the mystery/adventure. The titular private eye teams up with his former human partner's son, Tim Goodman (Justice Smith), to find the missing detective.
They team up to chase clues through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City, a sprawling metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side. Along the way, they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy the whole Pokémon universe.
The new trailer does seem to confirm the presence of the villainous Mewtoo, the powerful psychic Pokemon. It's a nice nostalgic callback to 1998's "Pokemon: The First Movie," which featured Mewtoo as the big bad.
"Detective Pikachu" opens in theaters May 10.
