“I would love to participate in ‘Detective Pikachu 2’,” he said, but admitted: “I don’t know if it’s going to happen.”
He added, “I think we have to just kind of bury our hopes. I don’t think it’s going to happen. I really hope so though. Honestly, I’m such a huge fan, who knows, who knows? I hope so.”
Plans for a “Detective Pikachu” sequel were announced before the first film even opened, but despite its decent box office performance, there has been no other announcements since.
