A bevy of A-list actors like Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson are being eyed for the 'Pokemon' movie.
The project was first announced last year amid the rising popularity of
the game 'Pokemon GO' that made players chase down the virtual pocket
monsters in real life using GPS. Titled 'Detective Pikachu', it is being
directed by Rob Letterman. According to the sources, the makers of the
film are eyeing the actors.
Reynolds's last big screen appearance was 'Life' and 'The Hitman's
Bodyguard' earlier this year. He will next reprise his role as the Merc
with a Mouth in 'Deadpool 2' which is scheduled to come out on June 1,
2018. He may also return for 'X-Force'. Jackman was last seen on the big
screen in comic book adaptation 'Logan'. It marked his final appearance
as Wolverine in the 'X-Men' franchise. His next projects include
musical drama 'The Greatest Showman' and comedy drama 'The Front
Runner'.
Wahlberg did 'Transformers: The Last Knight'. He will next star in
comedy 'Daddy's Home 2' and crime thriller 'All the Money in the World'.
He also has a TV show called 'Wahlburgers' which stars his family
including brother Donnie Wahlberg. Johnson will soon be seen in
'Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle' after his movies 'The Fate of the
Furious' and 'Baywatch'. His next projects include 'Rampage',
'Skyscraper' and 'Fighting with My Family'.
The former wrestler has also been signed on an untitled 'Fast and
Furious' spin-off that will focus on his character Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw. The movie is due in 2019, pushing back the next 'Fast and Furious' instalment.
