The first movie may still be several months from release, but there’s already a Detective Pikachu sequel in the works.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Legendary Pictures is already moving forward with a follow-up and has brought in Oren Uziel to work on the screenplay. Uziel is likely best known for working on the likes of 22 Jump Street and Shimmer Lake in addition to this November’s Sonic the Hedgehog, not to mention currently on board to pen the upcoming Supergirl and Mortal Kombat movies.

Of course, before any sequel there’s the small matter of the first Detective Pikachu outing. With Ryan Reynolds lending his vocals to the titular role, the film will star Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Ken Watanabe, Bill Nighy and Rita Ora.

The official synopsis on Detective Pikachu reads:

The story begins when ace private eye Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son Tim to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry’s former Pokémon partner, Detective Pikachu: a hilariously wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth who is a puzzlement even to himself. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to communicate with one another, Tim and Pikachu join forces on a thrilling adventure to unravel the tangled mystery. Chasing clues together through the neon-lit streets of Ryme City—a sprawling, modern metropolis where humans and Pokémon live side by side in a hyper-realistic live-action world—they encounter a diverse cast of Pokémon characters and uncover a shocking plot that could destroy this peaceful co-existence and threaten the whole Pokémon universe.

Detective Pikachu will hit cinemas this May. And, as ever, expect more on any sequel as we get it.
