“I lived it, I breathed it, I became the character,” says Ryan Reynolds. “I spent the entire year as Detective Pikachu.”
Reynolds will take on the title role in the upcoming Pokemon live-action feature “Detective Pikachu,” and, gearing up for the release of a new trailer, the actor shared a tell-all video in which he broke down his very actorly process for the project. (The video may or may not be entirely sarcastic—we’ll let you watch below and decide for yourself.)
“Bringing Detective Pikachu to the big screen is a privilege that I don’t take lightly,” he adds. “Every second of my energy is spent making this character come alive with the same exacting standards that the most discerning fans would come to expect.”
No one can say the man doesn’t commit.
