“We are thrilled for the opportunity to work with The Pokémon Company International,” Robert Napton, Senior Vice President of Legendary Comics, said.
Goosebumps helmer Rob Letterman is on directing duty while Mary Parent (The Revenant) and Cale Boyter are producing the film for Legendary Entertainment.
“Pokémon is a globally-adored brand, and we absolutely loved expanding the story of POKÉMON: Detective Pikachu onto the page with the help of Brian’s words and Nelson’s art.”
Pokémon has delighted fans of all ages around the world for over two decades.
