The ‘Terminal List’ actor voiced the lasagna-loving cat Garfield in last year’s ‘The Garfield Movie,’ which earned over $230 million at the global box office.

Apart from voicing Garfield, Chris Pratt is also serving as producer on the animated sequel alongside Alcon co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, and John Cohen and Steven P. Wegner.

It is to be noted that Alcon bought the rights from Garfield creator Jim Davis before the release of the first film.

Davis will also serve as an executive producer on ‘The Garfield Movie’ sequel, along with Bridget McMeel.

While Chris Pratt has been confirmed to return to voice the titular character, the makers are yet to rope in the writer and director for the animated sequel.

On the work front, the Hollywood actor is set to appear in Amazon MGM feature ‘Mercy,’ followed by Apple and Skydance’s ‘Way Of The Warrior Kid.’
