Hollywood Reporter:

Ryan Reynolds is going to catch 'em all.

The Deadpool star has signed on to star in Legendary’s live-action PokÁ©mon movie, THR has learned.

I’m not sure if this necessarily the next big franchise role most expected for Ryan Reynolds after Deadpool, but it beats being dragged in for a Green Lantern sequel.

What makes this most weird, is this version of Pikachu - besides wearing a hat and apparently being a detective, as the title indicates - he talks.  And we learned earlier this year that people don’t really care for that.
