Can we talk about THAT Detective Pikachu twist?
ARE YOU READY TO CATCH ALL THE SPOILERS?
SPOILER WARNING
When EW interviewed Detective Pikachu (a.k.a. Ryan Reynolds) last month, we asked what he could say about his investigation into the disappearance of his partner Harry Goodman. โI could kill you. But then Iโd have to tell you,โ he responded. His secretive response should have tipped us off, but no one could have expected the twist thatโs revealed late in Detective Pikachu.
The films opens with Mewtwo appearing to send a car, which we later learn contains Harry and Pikachu, crashing off the road. The accident results in Pikachu losing his memory and partnering up with Harryโs son, Tim (Justice Smith), to figure out what happened. Well, it turns out Mewtwo is actually a good Pokรฉmon and was attempting to save the duo during the crash. With Harry, who we only ever see face down, apparently suffering fatal injuries, Mewtwo put Harry into Pikachuโs body. Yes, that means throughout the movie that Pikachu was actually Timโs dad, and neither of them knew it.
But the twists donโt stop there! The final scene features Reynoldsโ voice โ and the rest of him. Harry is now back in his own body, and heโs portrayed by none other than the Deadpool star. Pikachu is there too, but back to his classic non-human talk. The three all decide to live happily ever after together in Ryme City.
