There has been news on a lot of video gaming movie adaptation news lately. However, one film that you might have forgotten about is a sequel to the 2019 movie Pokemon: Detective Pikachu. In fact, the sequel had been announced before the first film had even released in theaters.
Well, 4 years have passed since the sequel was confirmed, and Detective Pikachu 2 is still nowhere to be seen. Nevertheless, Legendary Entertainment has not forgotten about the project. A representative for Legendary Entertainment spoke to Polygon with some good news and bad news. The good news is that the film is “still in active development”. The bad news is that, unfortunately, the representative was unable to confirm who is working on it.
It is worth noting that, recently, Detective Pikachu writers Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez confirm that, while they’d love to contribute to the project, they are currently not involved in the film’s production. Samit even said that “it’s an ongoing conversation that is still not over to this day”. Samit also mentioned that the situation was “complicated” and involved “a lot of big studio, corporate Pokemon rights things that we’re not privy to”.
