The teaser, released Wednesday, also showcases a fight between a Gengar and a Blastoise, along with footage of Pikachu being addicted to coffee and bonding with a Psyduck, who wants his feet rubbed.

"Pikachu used...foot massage?" Reynolds said.

Detective Pikachu, which is set for theatrical release May 10, follows the title character, who discovers that he can somehow communicate with Tim Goodman, portrayed by Justice Smith.

The pair team up to help solve the mystery of Tim's missing father. Kathryn Newton and Ken Watanabe also star.
