It’s happening, Trainers. Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution arrives, Pokémon Day, February 27, 2020, only on Netflix.
I am super pumped for the new look, but I do wish the original voice actors had reprised their roles. Hopefully, this new voice cast can give these classic characters the respect they deserve. Mewtwo does sound awesome though!
