The original “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” starred Ryan Reynolds as a talking, coffee-loving Pikachu who fancied himself as a Sherlock Holmes. The electric mouse teams up with Tim Goodman, a down-on-his-luck Pokémon trainer played by Justice Smith, to find Tim’s missing dad. The cast included Kathryn Newton, who’s currently starring in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” Suki Waterhouse, Ken Watanabe, Rita Ora, and more.
It was the first live-action “Pokémon” movie ever made after the hit video game franchise sold more than 440 million video games sold worldwide, tens of billions of Pokémon cards, and more than 1,200 episodes of the popular anime series.
