Warner Bros. has released six all-new character posters for the upcoming
Detective Pikachu movie, putting the spotlight on the titular hero, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Jigglypuff, Psyduck, and finally Mr. Mime.
Considering that both action-packed trailers for the Rob Letterman-directed
Detective Pikachu have been highly popular among not only fans of the franchise. but also causal moviegoers, it's rather safe to say that the yellow hero's adventure will be one of the biggest hits of the year, and not only in China.
The aforementioned Pokémon won't be the only famous character in the movie, as The Pokémon Company has already confirmed that Charmander, Greninja, Snubbull, and many more will make an appearance in the movie. As a reminder, Mewtwo will serve as the main antagonist of the flick.
Without further ado, be sure to take a closer look at Pikatchu and his friends in the new posters below:
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.
POKÉMON Detective Pikachu will hit cinemas in the US on May 10th 2019.
