The Detective Pikachu movie was the highest-grossing video game film in US history at the time of its release in 2019, but a sequel apparently is not a sure thing. Star Justice Smith said in an interview with Inverse that he would love to be asked back for a sequel, but he doesn't think it's in the cards.

"I would love to participate in Detective Pikachu 2. I don't know if it's going to happen," he said. "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."

Smith gave this interview back in March, but it's gaining traction again this week after the quotes were discovered by some outlets (via VGC).
