The 1998 film
Pokemon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back is set for a remake in the form of
Pokemon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution. This upcoming animated film will release in July of this year and serve as a 3D CG remake of the afformentioned classic
Pokemon movie.
Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution, unlike the original version, will take place within the franchise's new canon - which thus far consists of 2017's
Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You! and 2018's
Pokemon the Movie: The Power of Us.
Being 3D and made twenty years after the original, you'd expect some changes to be apparent when compared to the source material. One of these changes will be cosmetic in nature: Mewtwo's armour. The godlike Pokemon will have his powers dampened by this armour, the same as in the original, only now it looks entirely different.
Vist
Bulbapedia and you can see the orginal look. Take a look at the new, promotional material (via
@SerebiiNet) and you can see the elaborate new design (which is much more
Predator-esque):
Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution is set to release in Japanese theatres on 12th July, 2019.
