For months, Warner Bros has hinted that Mewtwo would somehow be involved in its upcoming live action Detective Pikachu movie. A new trailer released earlier today features Mewtwo exploding onto the scene…literally.
Mewtwo only appears for a few seconds and appears to be involved in some sort of fight with Pikachu on top of a giant Pikachu parade balloon. As Pikachu races around the balloon using Quick Attack, Mewtwo literally bursts through the balloon with a devastating psychic blast.
Mewtwo’s presence in the movie has been hinted for months. The first trailer had an easter egg showing “M2” graffiti, while a poster released earlier today shows Mewtwo hiding in plain sight on top of a distant skyscraper.
Detective Pikachu will be released on May 10th.
Want to know more about Detective Pikachu? You can check out the project’s official synopsis below:
“The story begins when ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.”
