We Got This Covered seem to be privy to a lot of behind-the-scenes knowledge of Detective Pikachu. Earlier they reported the shocking and potentially spoilery identity of Detective Pikachu's antagonist; now they're claiming that Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures are already hard at work developing a sequel/spinoff from the upcoming, live-action Pokemon movie.
According to the report, multiple sources have corroborated that WB and Legendary are working on a spinoff which would follow, the fan-favourite Pokemon, Mewtwo. Said Pokemon will make an appearance in the upcoming Detective Pikachu movie thereby lining up a solo film.
Mewtwo is already arguably one of the most popular Pokemon, appearing in the Detective Pikachu movie would only enhance as such. So the claim is pretty plausible. It seems a Pokemon cinematic-universe is emerging after all.
What do you think of the rumour? Would you be interested in a live-action Mewtwo movie? Are you looking forward to Detective Pikachu?
Detective Pikachu is set to arrive in theatres on May 10th, 2019.
