Supposed 'Detective Pikachu' leak is just an hour and a half of Pikachu dancing
Watch Next

Well played, Detective Pikachu marketing team.

A supposed leak of the movie was published on Tuesday night from a mysterious YouTube account called Inspector Pikachu, and was tweeted about by the voice of Pikachu, Ryan Reynolds.

The first minute or so gives you the impression that you're watching the real thing, and it's complete with a screener watermark which says "R. Reynolds."

Eventually though, the movie switches to a loop of Pikachu dancing, which goes on for the one hour, 44 minute length of the film. You got us good.
