The world’s most sarcastic, lasagna-loving cat is getting ready for round two — and this time, things are going to be even bigger. Chris Pratt is officially returning to voice Garfield in the sequel to 2024’s The Garfield Movie, and fans of the iconic orange tabby have every reason to celebrate.
Following the commercial success of the first film, Alcon Entertainment and Sony Pictures have confirmed that the Garfield sequel is now in active development. The studios made it clear: the cat is out of the bag, and so is the actor — Pratt will reprise his role as Garfield and also serve as a producer on the sequel.
What Made the First Garfield Movie a Hit?
The Garfield Movie brought fresh energy to the beloved comic strip character created by Jim Davis. With a mix of slapstick humor, heartfelt moments, and a star-studded voice cast led by Pratt, the film found its groove with younger audiences and longtime Garfield fans alike.
Even though critics gave it mixed reviews, audiences responded with enthusiasm, pushing the movie to a solid box office performance worldwide. That success paved the way for a sequel — one that promises more antics, more attitude, and definitely more lasagna.
What to Expect in the Sequel?
While the plot of the new film is still tightly under wraps, early reports suggest that the sequel will expand Garfield’s world — possibly introducing new characters and deeper storylines. The animation will once again be handled by DNEG Animation, with Prime Focus Studios also returning to co-produce alongside Alcon and Sony.
And with Chris Pratt now taking on a producer role, fans can expect a bit more of his creative touch influencing the character and tone of the film. This dual role shows his commitment to evolving the Garfield franchise in fun and meaningful ways.
Chris Pratt’s Growing Voice Acting Legacy
This project marks yet another major animated role for Pratt, who recently voiced Mario in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. With his blend of humor, charm, and energy, he’s proven to be a versatile voice actor, capable of bringing new life to beloved characters.
With Garfield, Pratt has embraced a laid-back, witty tone that resonates with modern audiences — and he’s only just getting started.
