In a new animated film, Chris Pratt will voice the famous feline ‘Garfield’

Chris Pratt, a Hollywood actor, has been cast as the voice of the famous feline Garfield in a new animated feature film. The film is being produced by Alcon Entertainment, with Sony Pictures set to release Garfield’s latest adventure in theatres throughout the world (excluding China). Variety.com indicates that a release date will be revealed at a future stage.

The film is based on the long-running comic strip created by artist Jim Davis, though story specifics have yet to be verified.

Since June 1978, the adventures of the cynical and lazy orange cat Garfield, his owner Jim Arbuckle, and fellow pet Odie have been featured in over 2,580 newspapers and publications.

Garfield has the honor of being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip. David Reynolds will write the script and Mark Dindal will direct the untitled film. Garfield’s upcoming picture isn’t his first foray into Hollywood.

In the 2004 film ‘Garfield: The Movie’ and its 2006 sequel ‘Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties,’ Bill Murray provided the voice of the titular cat.

‘Garfield Gets Real,’ ‘Garfield’s Fun Fest,’ and ‘Garfield’s Pet Force’ are just a few of the direct-to-video films featuring Garfield.

Pratt has recently directed Disney and Pixar’s animated adventure ‘Onward,’ as well as the Warner Bros. toy-based ‘Lego Movie’ franchise.

Chris Pratt Voicing Super Mario

Chris Pratt has been roped in for the cast of the upcoming animated movie, Mario and will be in the role of the main lead. And the internet seems to have lost its mind as it cannot handle this information. Nintendo has kept their video game characters out of TV and film.

Nintendo even announced the film’s premiere date which will be on December 21, 2022. This announcement itself was a surprise but there is another news which is breaking the internet. After the announcement of Chris Pratt being the voice of Mario, Twitter was full of emotions as users reacted to the news.
