Come and step inside the world of POKEMON, where Ryan Reynolds is the voice of PIKACHU ... Detective Pikachu, that is!

Behold the first official trailer for "Pokemon Detective Pikachu," the upcoming live-action film adaptation of the mega-popular Japanese video game, trading card, toy, comics and anime franchise.

Set in Ryme City, a futuristic metropolis where humans and pokemon creatures live together in harmony, the film stars Justice Smith (from "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom") as Tim Goodman, a once-aspiring pokemon trainer who, after realizing that he's the only person on the planet who can understand what a particular yellow Pikachu creature (voiced by the "Deadpool" star) is actually saying -- and who happens to be a world-class pokemon detective, goes on a quest to search for his missing private-eye father. They soon uncover long-held secrets concerning the Pokemon community.

Co-starring Kathryn Newton (Blockers, HBO's Big Little Lies) as Lucy, a junior reporter following her first big story; and acclaimed Japanese actor Ken Watanabe (Godzilla, The Last Samurai) as Tim's father's former partner, Lt. Yoshida, the film is directed by "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Goosebumps" helmer Rob Letterman.

"Pokemon Detective Pikachu" is slated for a May 10, 2019 theatrical release.

The world of Pokemon comes to life!

The first-ever live-action Pokemon movie, "POKEMON Detective Pikachu” stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular character in the first-ever live-action movie based on the iconic face of the global Pokemon brand -- one of the world's most popular, multi-generation entertainment properties and most successful media franchises of all time.

The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim (Justice Smith) to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokemon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City -- a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokemon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world -- they encounter a diverse cast of Pokemon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokemon universe.
