Pokemon: Detective Pikachu is likely to be one of the biggest films of the year, so eyebrows were raised when the entire film appeared to have been uploaded on YouTube. Check it out below.
The footage, which runs for 102 minutes, isn’t exactly what it appears to be. Get past the first 30 seconds of the video after the Warner Bros. logo and other associated companies appear and you are treated to almost two hours of the Pikachu dancing away.
While there’s a few moments of the genuine Detective Pikachu movie in the YouTube upload, it is clear that this is just one big marketing ploy. The video was put onto the site by a user called Inspector Pikachu and this same account later tweeted about the supposed leak. Ryan Reynolds, the man who voices the eponymous Pokemon in the film, also got in on the act by retweeting this post to his 13.6 million followers.

The “leaked” movie is worth watching just to get a glimpse of the sweet moves that Reynold’s Pikachu can pull off. Those wanting to actually watch the actual film will have to wait a few more days. Detective Pikachu will be available in cinemas from May 10.
