Pokemon Detective Pikachu stars Reynolds as detective Pikachu. It is based on the Pokemon brand -- one of the world's most popular multi-generation entertainment properties. The film will be released pan India by Warner Bros Pictures on May 10. 

When asked if he shared any similarities with Pikachu, Ryan said, "Detective Pikachu's got some sass. He has got some serious attitude. He's kind of a larger than life character and he has to be because he looks like a little yellow cotton ball. If someone flash fried me and injected me into this yellow guy, that's basically who he is. So I try to bring as much personality out through the characters as I possibly can."

For Ryan, reading the script of the movie was a huge education about the Pokemon world. "I found myself reacting to each character and immediately Googling them to see what they look like. You're going to see an absolute tonne and variety of Pokemon in this movie. There's a lot of little Easter eggs planted in there as well. Fans that know and love it are really going to be into it. And those who are the uninitiated (ones) are also going to find it pretty amazing."
