Rita Ora Cast in the Detective Pikachu Movie

The cast of the Detective Pikachu movie continues to grow. After nabbing the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Ken Watanabe, the film has just added new cast member, British singer/actress Rita Ora.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ora's role is still undisclosed, and with the Pokemon talking in this world, she could either be playing a human or a Pokemon. If she were a human character, I guess she would be unlike Ora's real-life job of singer/actress—such is a common trope with detective movies. If not, I would imagine that she was either a talking Jigglypuff or maybe another female Pikachu.

Though some are admittedly baffled that the first live-action Pokemon movie we're getting is Detective Pikachu, I have no doubt that writer Alex Hirsch (creator of Gravity Falls) will bring us something entertaining for both kids and adults. If we're lucky, we might even get a small voice cameo from the likes of Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland.

Detective Pikachu is still currently undergoing production, but we should get out first look sometime later this year. With a premise so bizarre, Legendary Entertainment would want fans onboard as soon as they can.

Detective Pikachu hits theaters May 10, 2019.
