You read right, kids. Ryan 'Deadpool' Reynolds is set to play a motion capture Pikachu in a new Legendary Pictures project called "Detective Pikachu".
Justice Smith, from Paper Towns and the upcoming Jurassic World sequel, is a boy whose father gets kidnapped and he turns to no other than Detective Pikachu to solve the case. Because what else are you going to do - call the police? Filming starts in London in January and the Director is a seasoned live-action kids film pro, having directed Gulliver's Travels and Goosebumps previously. Other juicy details are being kept under wraps by the company for now so we'll have to wait to see if any of our other Poke-favourites are making an appearance. I'm holding our for Meowth played by Danny DeVito, personally...
