2019’s weirdest and most intriguing movie just got a new trailer. The latest look at Ryan Reynolds in Detective Pikachu is definitely much more action-packed than the first. However, the funny, nostalgic weirdness from the first trailer is more present (and welcome) than ever.
We don’t get many plot specifics from the trailer. Reynold’s Pikachu wakes up with no memory of where he is wearing a hat with the name ‘Harry Goodman’ written in it. Harry, it turns out, is Tim’s (Justice Smith) missing father and this is what brings the two together. Pikachu then enlists Tim, after some convincing, to help him discover his past while in the meantime searching for Tim’s father. From there the trailer shows us a montage of the film’s action sequences. We get a quick look at Kathryn Newton’s Lucy Stevens, a reporter who gets involved with Tim and Pikachu’s investigation. Finally, the trailer ends with a short shot showing fan-favorite Pokemon, Mew-Two in action.
Check out the full trailer below:
