There are no images of Ryan Reynolds on set as he voices the titular character, Detective Pikachu but rumours say that Reynolds may have already recorded his lines back in early 2017. The film, though set in the same “Ryme City” as the game, it may not follow the exact story of the 3DS title.
The original 3DS game Detective Pikachu follows Tim Goodman who goes to Ryme City to find his father who has disappeared. He bumps into a talking Pikachu that only he can understand and learns that he is a great detective. They work together to find Tim’s father. The film has some changes to characters like Kathryn Newton’s Character in the film is called Lucy but in the game, she is called Emilia Christie in the English Localized version. Ken Watanabe portrays Detective Yoshida, who is an original character and may be based on Detective Holliday from the game.
