In the latest trailer, we see for the first time Mewtwo, armored Mewtwo, and copied Pokémon wearing armor to control their powers!
The scene in which Satoshi and his friends struggle to stop Mewtwo's ambitions, and the scene in which a copy of Pikachu cries and slaps Satoshi's Pikachu on the cheek, a scene that has been called a famous scene, will surely move the hearts of children and adults alike.

Voyager / Voice: Sachiko Kobayashi
Having grown up in a harbor, she knows a lot about the sea and is in charge of the docks.

＜Comment by Sachiko Kobayashi
I am very happy to be able to participate in "Mewtwo Strikes Back: EVOLUTION" again after a lapse of 21 years. At the time, many children were moved by the adventures of their favorite Pokémon and their friends, and this work nurtured kindness and compassion in them. I hope that the children of those days, and the children living today, will see the legendary Pokemon movie, which has evolved even further, in theaters!

Mew/Voice: Koichi Yamadera
Mew is said to be the "beginning" of all Pokémon, and Pokémon researchers around the world are searching for its whereabouts.

＜Comment from Koichi Yamadera
When "Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back" was released, I was also the host of Ohasuta, so I was able to experience the social phenomenon that this movie has become, both as a performer in the movie and as a presenter. This time, with the full 3DCG version, I feel that it is truly an origin story, but a new Pokémon... I am very much looking forward to it. I think it will be a work that will remain in the hearts of both those who saw it back then and children who see it for the first time, and I hope it will be so. I am still worried about whether I can do that Miu Miu voice, but I will do my best with my high tone voice!

The world is being told - the starting point and the pinnacle of the film industry.

It is said to be the "beginning" of all Pokémon, and Pokémon researchers around the world are searching for it. Where am I? Who am I? Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon that was brought into this world by the human ego's desire to create the strongest Pokémon. Its name is Mewtwo. Mewtwo is repeatedly experimented on as the most powerful weapon without knowing why it exists, and in its heart, it develops a hatred for the people who created it.
