Chris Pratt Confirms GARFIELD 2 Is Happening... With Pizza
Chris Pratt is coming back for seconds of lasagna and Garfield. The Jurassic World and Super Mario Bros. star has officially confirmed that a sequel to 2024’s The Garfield Movie is on the way, and he did it in the most on-brand way possible: with a pizza in hand and a wink to fans.
Pratt served up the announcement like a hot slice, saying: “Hope to see you at the movies in 20XX.”
The whole thing was delivered with the kind of cheesy flair you’d expect from the guy voicing a sarcastic, Monday-hating cat.
While some might scratch their heads wondering why we’re getting a sequel, the answer is simple… Money.
The Garfield Movie wasn’t exactly a critical darling, but it pulled in an estimated $257.2 million globally on a reported $60 million budget. That’s enough lasagna to feed Odie for a decade. Plus, it opened at number one at the box office, something studio execs love almost as much as Garfield loves napping.
Voice acting gigs like this are gold for actors with busy schedules and kids at home, and it’s a great and easy gig! The movie is currently streaming on Netflix, which could see a viewership bump now that a sequel’s in the oven.
So, Garfield 2 is coming. Probably stuffed with more one-liners, more pasta, and all the voice of Chris Pratt you could want.
