Well, it’s official: We finally know when we’re gonna get to hear Ryan Reynolds’s gorgeous voice as Pikachu.

According to Deadline, Universal Pictures has given the Detective Pikachu movie a scheduled release of May 10, 2019 — not nearly as far off as some of us might have thought!

Directed by Rob Letterman, the movie will star Reynolds, Justice Smith and Kathryn Newton.
