Deadpool actor, Ryan Reynolds, to star in the Pokemon Company's movie,Detective Pikachu

Based on The Pokémon Company’s Great Detective Pikachu video game, we’re now learning that Legendary Studio has chosen none other than Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) to voice the titular character. He’ll join Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton in the film.
Reynolds won’t actually be seen on screen at any point, given that he’s just lending his voice, but his charm and charisma will definitely come through and should ensure that audiences get themselves into theaters for this one.

This is the first time that Detective Pikachu will be seen communicating with humans in a live-action setting, and it’s no secret that Legendary’s banking on both the runaway success of Pokémon GO and now, Reynold’s recognizable voice to sell tickets.

Behind the lens for Detective Pikachu is Rob Letterman, he’ll be working from a script penned by Nicole Perlman.
