After The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Another Game Adaptation Needs a Sequel

Video game adaptations have been enjoying a renaissance over the last few years. Movies based on Mario, Sonic, and Minecraft have generated huge money at the box office, while shows adapting The Last of Us and Fallout have seen impressive viewership numbers. This has resulted in studios actively pursuing the rights to any gaming property that might be the next big thing. Pokémon: Detective Pikachu was one of the most successful video game movies of the last decade, but for some strange reason it has yet to receive a sequel. With studios all looking for the next big game to adapt, it feels like the time is finally right to bring Detective Pikachu back.
