Multiple updates regarding the third installment of Deadpool are doing the rounds for a while now. While the movie may have been delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Ryan Reynolds has not left his fans stranded in this moment of despair as he gives them a victory that they will relish for a lifetime.

Reynolds, who is currently the bigshot of Hollywood with a net worth of $350 million, bagged his dream role in a multi-billion franchise. Despite having tough competition from many other A-listers in the industry, Reynolds bagged the lead in this upcoming movie.

Ryan Reynolds leads a billion-dollar franchise

Pokemon is the highest-grossing franchise to date that has a huge fanbase all over the world. Therefore, when the news about lending a voice to its titular character came out, many top actors from the industry expressed their interest. Dwayne Johnson, Hugh Jackman, and Mark Wahlberg are some of the actors who desired to voice-act in this live-action flick. However, the Free Guy actor surpassed all of them and made his way into the popular franchise.

Ryan Reynolds is a huge Pokemon fan and was very dedicated to playing this role. He even forgot to pick his kids up from school when he heard he got the role. Which is funny considering the reason he was so adamant to play this role was for them to enjoy one of his movies. Adorable, isn’t it?

With the esteemed names of Hollywood’s biggest superstars attached to it, fans wonder what exactly is the billion dollar project about.

What is Detective Pikachu about?

Detective Pikachu, as one can gauge from his name, is a detective who solves the mystery of finding Harry Goodman. Pikachu used to work with Harry at a detective agency, but loses his memory after an accident. This accident also marked the disappearance of Harry Goodman, who becomes the center of Detective Pikachu’s storyline.

The video game film brought in a lot of profit, however, it failed to create an impact among fans. It received a 68% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is pretty average for such a big-budget venture. But nothing can take away the fact that it made Ryan Reynolds a winner for not just his kids but also among his peers.
