DETECTIVE PIKACHU Movie Reportedly Eyeing Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds And More To Voice The Character
Though there's no indication that any of these actors have actually met about the project, a new report suggest that the studio is looking at several top stars to provide the voice of Detective Pikachu...
After the unprecedented popularity of Pokemon GO, it was really only a matter of time before a live-action movie was officially announced, and it was recently confirmed that Legendary was set to team with The Pokemon Company for an adaptation of Great Detective Pikachu video game.
Now, That Hashtag Show reports that the studio might just be looking at some huge stars to provide the voice of the titular character.
According to them, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson are all high on the list - although they do stress that none of them have actually taken any meetings about the role. If this is true, it definitely seems to suggest that Goosebumps director Rob Letterman and co. are looking to contrast Pikachu's adorable appearance with a more gruff-sounding voice, which would probably work quite well.
Anyway, this is just a rumor for now, but do you think any of these guys would be right for the role? Sound off below.
