According to Variety, along with Chris, the film also casts actor Samuel Jackson in the lead role as a new character in the Garfield universe, Vic, who is the father of the orange feline.

Previously, `Garfield: The Movie,` in 2004 and "Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties" became huge box office successes despite getting negative reviews from the audience, in which Bill Murray gave his voice to the fat cat.

`Garfield` is written by the `Finding Nemo` writer David Reynolds and is helmed by the `Chicken Little` maker Mark Dindal, and is now slated to release on February 16, 2024. Apart from that, Pratt will also appear next year in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Star-Lord in the third `Guardians of the Galaxy` movie. Along with this, he will play another iconic animated character next year when he takes on the voice of Mario in the upcoming `Super Mario Bros` film from Illumination.

Jackson, on the other hand, recently voiced another cartoon cat in the animated `Blazing Saddles`. The actor will make his next live-action appearance next year, reprising his Marvel Cinematic Universe role of Nick Fury in `Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,` `Secret Invasion` and `The Marvels,` Variety reported.
