When it was originally announced that a Great Detective Pikachu movie got the greenlight, fans thought Danny DeVito would be the perfect choice for the character. Hollywood, however, had someone else in mind.
See? DeVito is perfect!
As just announced, Ryan Reynolds will play Detective Pikachu when production starts in London early next year. Some fans have opinions about this — not all necessarily negative and not all necessarily pleased!

R.I.P the dream of having Danny Devito as Detective Pikachu’s voice

Didn’t expect Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu to be honest and Danny Devito would have been a good choice but hey, still kind of looking forward to this nonetheless…xD

I’ve seen several people mad the great Danny DeVito isn’t Pikachu. Add me to that list.

Look, we all love Ryan Reynolds, but is it too early to start a GoFundMe to have Danny DeVito record all of Pikachu’s lines as an alt voice track?

Casting Ryan Reynolds as Detective Pikachu is a slap to the face to fans who wanted Danny DeVito as Pikachu pic.twitter.com/wPRQJSRkK9

He may not be Danny DeVito, but Ryan Reynolds is a fantastic choice to voice Detective Pikachu. With Alex Hirsch writing and Reynolds voicing I have a feeling Legendary is trying to make a PG-rated Deadpool-type romp. Let’s hope they succeed.

I’m glad it’s *not* Danny Devito as Detective Pikachu because I’m tired of my drawings becoming real. https://t.co/idtGVs8Qcs pic.twitter.com/7txjsVBYm6

My heart was set on Danny Devito to star as Detective Pikachu but Ryan Reynolds is fine too.
Maybe Danny can still be in the movie somehow. Perhaps as DP’s Squirtle Squad informant. pic.twitter.com/sg7TxS6Llu

Devito fits the tragic backstory of detective pikachu so well, he could’ve been the bob Hoskins as eddie Valentine of a new generation.
Dammit, autocorrect boned me! Eddie VALIANT. Who framed roger rabbit.
When you Mentioned Bob Hoskins, i almost thought you were going to mention something else that was tragic.
Devito showed no interest in the role back in April when it was suggested to him. Methinks this was never going to happen.
I think studios are starting to learn that when the internet really gets behind something as a joke, they don’t really want that thing, they just want to be subversive. Short clips of DeVito Pikachu are quite funny, a feature film would have been nauseating.
The real win here is Alex Hirsch being in the writer’s chair.
Yeah. Editing Frank Reynolds over Ryan Reynolds is way funnier than actually having him play a proper, child friendly Detective Pikachu.
I don’t think Devito would fit a kids movie pikachu.
I want Ryan Reynolds doing a Danny Devito impersonation as the voice of Detective Piccachu.
