Detective Pikachu ‘Leaks’ in Full on YouTube

We are just a couple of days away from the official release of Detective Pikachu, the first live-action adaptation based on the Pokémon franchise. Now it seems star Ryan Reynolds, who voices the character, has discovered someone leaked the entire movie online. Blame a mysterious YouTube channel called “Inspector Pikachu.”

The truth is that Warner Bros. has deployed a new marketing strategy to promote the upcoming movie. The video is in fact not the full movie, but an hour and half of a captivating dance from Pikachu. Although the first minute, at least, seems to be authentic footage from the movie.
