Detective Pikachu's Second Movie Is Apparently Still In "Active Development"

This movie was good, y'all just want something to complain about

Not sure why people thought a sequel wasn't going to happen. Pokémon makes a ton of cash.

With that being said, the first one was one of the few movies I watched in theaters multiple times. Can't wait for a sequel.

They should take all the time they need. I want a good sequel that isn’t just some cheap cash grab.

@PBandSmelly I liked the first movie and the game. Both tell completely different stories while still being good.

First film was fun and I look forward to a sequel and I say that as someone who really doesn't care about Pokemon game series wise.

At least the visuals will be good eh?!

On the other hand, some people are still waiting for the sequel to the game that was announced before the movie was even released XD.

I mean a sequel is good and all, but I don’t feel like it needed one, it ended pretty well in my opinion.

Another story would be nice.

Yeah, I agree with others here that the first movie had a pretty definitive ending. A sequel should use the same universe but with new characters. Maybe Pikachu gets lost and finds someone else to team up with.

The first film wasn't the greatest thing, narratively speaking. But I can't deny it was cool to see Pokemon in "live action". All of that, plus the world itself, were really well done.

I'd like to see a lot more of that world, but given that it's been nearly four years, I worry that any kind of sequel might not live up. But I do appreciate the first film for what it was.

Something different surely, I didn't like the cast nor the characters.

If it weren't for the gross redesigns I'd say this movie is pretty forgettable.

I like the movie and the game so I probably may see the second movie too which hopefully a game will be based on it too.

I wonder how they’ll even continue the movie because that ending was pretty definitive… but hey, I’d totally watch a sequel if they got a good hook.

this franchise is such an enigma, i feel like it pops in and out of the news just to say how somethings in development and then disappears for a couple years again

I loved this movie. Best release of 2019, better than Endgame!

Good. I highly enjoyed the original movie, and I’m excited to see what they do for the sequel.

@AlienX
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I completely disagree. The cast, characters and world building were all so good that it'd be tough for me to watch a sequel that didn't include them.

Even if it's just "remnants of the dad are echoing in Pikachu, and he once again can talk and has the personality"

First one is very fun, though a lot of it's more on the atmosphere and presentation than the plot. I'd definitely be down for a sequel but I'd probably want something more substantive out of it narratively.

This time it had better have Danny DeVito.

Why not just make a live action Pokémon movie again, but not rehash the Detective Pikachu cast that pretty much got a closed book ending as it can get. Pokémon is literally a vast world to explore and even Detective Pikachu showed snipets of what was happening in the background

Do we need a sequel? No. Does Marvel need another movie/franchise? No. Let’s face it all the Marvel movies are the same film but different costume. However if it’s entertaining I’m happy to watch Detective Pikachu 2

Yeah, new 3DS game please 😁

@IceClimbersMain I think its because a few years ago Justice Smith said it was cancelled

I'm more interested in the game. Where the heck is it, I wonder?

What happened to them making a Live Action adaption of the show? I didn't mind 'Detective Pikachu' but I would rather see that than a sequel.

If it is true. I want to see it. Looks fun.

how has Sonic had three movies in the time it took them to make a single movie here?

I am not a Pokemon fan, but I quite liked the film and so did the wife (who hates computer games), so I hope there is a second one.

But Van Wilder isn't a Pikachu anymore?

If I had a Pokemon partner, I know I would want to take it to this new movie, but a Lycanroc barking through the whole thing might get me kicked out of the theater. Good thing they only exist in that universe. (I still would like to have a pet wolf at least.)

The movie is surprisingly good i was nervous at first but its fun movie to watch I enjoyed it definitely broke the curse of live action video games like with Sonic.

So I can't wait for squeal

I loved the first Detective Pikachu movie, I'm def looking forward to a sequel (both for the movie and game).

@IceClimbersMain Based upon the ending, it seems completely impossible to have a sequel.

@Ade117 Personally, I'm hoping he'll team up with Officer Jenny.0

The original movie was a big opening to a mainstream Pokémon experience, it showed a new perspective of the Pokémon world... I they maintain that feeling to make sure it's going well.
But I didn't necessarily expected a sequel. I remember a rumour about Netflix working on a "Pokémon Cinematic Universe" or something. While that rumour is most likely false, I would love to see an adaptation of the Gen I story by the same studio
