A Detective Pikachu video from Ryan Reynolds offers fans a new look at Mewtwo and many more Pokemon.
While the first live-action Pokemon film will center on the titular Detective Pikachu and his friend Tim, the duo will cross paths with several pocket monsters on their journey to find the latter’s missing father and now Ryan Reynolds has unveiled ‘audition footage’ of the creatures featured in the movie. Set to the tune of Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” the video offers fans what may be the best look yet at the live-action versions of several fan-favorite Pokemon and concludes with a new shot of the powerful Mewtwo in Detective Pikachu.

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.
Directed by Rob Letterman from a script he co-wrote with Dan Hernandez & Benji Samit, Derek Connolly, and Nicole Perlman, Pokemon: Detective Pikachu stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular pocket monster, Justice Smith as Tim, Kathryn Newton as Lucy, and Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe as Lt. Yoshida.
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu will be released in theaters on May 10, 2019.
