Detective Pikachu features voice work from Ryan Reynolds and caused a stir online last year when the trailer was released.
Detective Pikachu may have not reached cinemas yet, but work on the sequel has already begun.
Detective Pikachu, which is mostly a live-action movie with the addition of animated Pokémons, is a joint American and Japanese production.
Uziel has previously worked on the surprisingly funny 22 Jump Street, a sequel to 21 Jump Street, and has scripted the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film.
