(Comicbook) Pokémon: Detective Pikachu sequel in development [Possible Spoilers]
- Thread starter Mirev
- Start date
Was hoping they'd just skip right into "expanding into a more diverse world of Pokémon movies."
That said, loved the movie. Actually surprised me.

Don't they have like 3-4 movies in development? I though we knew that a while back? (Also, it's comicbook.com. Not the most historically reliable source.)
Regardless, I'm really glad it seems like they're moving forward with these. Detective Pikachu wasn't perfect, but it was super fun and showed a lot of potential for these movies.

Oh god I thought this meant a comic is Detective Pikachu's sequel which would absolutely suck.
Great! I really hope they can expand on other Pokemon games. I think a Pokemon Ranger movie would be the best.

Ranger, maybe a kid-friendly horror movie in a haunted mansion starring the various ghost types, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, a kaiju movie about Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza. There's so much potential in the games and just different types of genre films they could do now they found their footing with Detective Pikachu
I thought it was an okay movie personally but least surprising news of the day. Bring Danny Devito to voice a pokemon and all will be right in the world.
This is just my personal theory but I imagine if they want to expand the Pokémon universe they would want Ryan Reynolds to be as involved in it as they could and make it make sense like what Ironman was for the MCU so I think Ryan Reynolds character Harry(?) Goodman will become the movie Pokémon universe "Looker" character taken from the games.
Your ideas intrigue me and i'd love to subscribe to your newsletter.
It's apparently been having stronger than expected weekday returns, which bodes well for legs. Plus, I imagine Warner suspects the film would've done much better if they'd released it earlier in the year with less competition.
Or they just ignore that point from DP and don't mention mewtwo
I know the first movie is loosely based on the game, but I'll be curious to see what they can do with a fully original story.......unless another Detective Pikachu game is in the pipeline.
I hope it fulfills the potential the original had. It was fine, but a little light. Felt more like an episode of TV with a huge budget than a full fledged movie.
Well I know they said they want to make a Mewtwo focused movie so that might take care of that plot point.
Lol I love that Detective Mimikyu fanart exists already
I don't doubt it, but comicbook.com isn't really a credible source. As an example of the level of articles there, they once quoted one of my reddit posts on r/onepiece just making basic speculation, added a whole bunch of fluff around it, and turned it into an "article." I wasn't mad or anything, and they linked and attributed, but my post wasn't all that great, certainly not worth an article, but because it got a few thousand upvotes they made it an article. They do that sort of thing all the time, with very low-quality articles.
So yeah. I don't doubt there's a sequel in the works, or some sort of Pokemon live action movie, but comicbook.com saying so isn't really a reliable reason to believe it.

Hopfully with a better writer and Director.
Detective Pikachu was mediocre. But had so much potential. They at least set up a new world.

The story was actually much better than the source game it adapted.
I think it did only slightly below expectations at worst. From what I read in the OT box office thread, the studio expectations were about mid-50s, but admittedly I don't follow box office news very closely.
Wasn't the rumor back then the sequel would be a prequel involving mewtwo and then the next movie was actual red and blue.
Also, if I'm any indication, the movie is making bank on merchandise sales *wallet crying*
