A new trailer suggesting there will be a new Pokémon movie with Tom Holland has dropped on the internet and fans wish to know if it is real or fake. Fans’ concerns about the legitimacy of movie trailers are not unwarranted nowadays, given the rise of AI and advanced editing techniques.
So, is the new Tom Holland Pokémon movie trailer the real deal or just another fan-made concept? Here is everything you need to know.
Is Tom Holland’s Pokémon (2025) movie trailer real or fake?
Tom Holland’s Pokémon movie trailer is fake and fan-made.
The fake Pokémon trailer uses clips from films such as Uncharted and Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. Additionally, the trailer features AI-generated images or live images as part of its footage. One such image is that of Tom Holland holding a Pokéball in his hand.
KH Studio made the fake trailer and uploaded it on YouTube. This channel is known for posting fake or fan-made trailers for movies that have not yet been released, are yet to drop official footage, or were never announced or confirmed to be in development.
As of this writing, KH Studios has uploaded 151 videos and amassed 208K subscribers.
Is Tom Holland starring in a Pokémon movie?
No, Tom Holland is not starring in a Pokémon movie.
As per We Got This Covered, there were rumors in December 2020 that suggested that Tom Holland was in consideration for the role of Blue Oak in a Pokémon spin-off movie, set in the same shared universe as Ryan Reynolds‘ Detective Pikachu. However, there have not been any updates about Holland’s involvement in any future live-action Pokémon projects.
Therefore, considering the actor’s very busy schedule, it is safe to assume that Holland will not be appearing in a Pokémon movie anytime soon.
