- Story Text: Actor Ryan Reynolds led the cast of his latest film Detective Pikachu on their red carpet premiere in Tokyo on Thursday (April 25).
The film, which also stars Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton, is the first live-action feature of the widely popular Japanese video game and anime Pokemon and follows the adventures of a talking pocket monster and solving a mystery.
Reynolds told reporters he was glad to premiere his movie, where he plays a sassy pint-sized pocket monster called Pikachu, where the franchise originated. Co-star Kathryn Newton said she looks forward to Detective Pikachu going head-to-head with cultural juggernaut Avengers Endgame which hits theaters a week before them.
Detective Pikachu hits theaters as early as May 3 and premieres in the U.S. on May 10.
