Legendary's Live-Action POKEMON Movie DETECTIVE PIKACHU Enlists DEADPOOL 2's Rob Delaney
We have some exciting casting news for you today as it's been revealed that the upcoming Detective Pikachu movie has reportedly landed Deadpool 2's Rob Delaney in a secret role. Read on for details...
The first trailer for Detective Pikachu received an overwhelmingly positive response and the signs are all pointing to the first live-action Pokemon movie being a huge hit with fans of the series.
While fans were initially surprised to hear that Ryan Reynolds would be taking on the role of the titular Pikachu, that sneak peek proved that he's a good fit for the role and it turns out the Deadpool 2 star is bringing a friend with him. According to a new report, Rob Delaney has landed a secretive part in the movie but it's not clear if that will be a live-action role or if he's voicing a Pokemon.
The actor gained quite the fan following after starring as X-Force member "Peter W." and given his comedic background, we can probably expect to see him doing something pretty funny here.
It's not clear why his role is being kept under wraps but something tells me that Delaney might be playing someone pretty significant if lengths are being made to hide specifics. Could we see Team Rocket or might he just be voicing an unexpected Pokemon? We'll keep you guys updated.
