If the early cast for the Pokemon movie Detective Pikachu didn’t catch you off guard at first, then this next new cast member will be even more of a shocker. Following the casting of Ryan Reynolds as the title character comes Ken Watanabe.

It looks like the world of Pokemon is about to get a major attitude problem now that Ryan Reynolds is in talks to lend his voice to Detective Pikachu, the first ever live-action Pokemon movie.

Perhaps you’ve heard of a mobile game called Pokémon GO. It’s that thing that every single person you know was talking about this past summer.

The game is so popular, in fact, that even one of the alien hunters from the Predator movies is getting in on the action. The Predator, however, goes a little overboard with their gaming session. They take their hunting quite seriously, you know.

When Legendary Pictures acquired the rights to make a Pokemon movie a month ago, it was following the successful launch of the mobile smartphone game Pokemon Go. Basically, the production company was taking advantage of the resurgence.

Now Guardians of the Galaxy writer Nicole Perlman and Gravity Falls animated series scribe Alex Hirsch are close to writing the adaptation. More on the story below.
