The follow-up installment will continue the comedic adventures of the iconic cat, though specific plot details and the full voice cast are still under wraps.

Production teams are reportedly working to refine the storyline while maintaining the humor and charm that made the first film a modest box office success.

Pratt’s return suggests the studio aims to build continuity and brand recognition. With animation underway, a release date is expected to be announced later this year, coinciding with fresh promotional campaigns and teaser trailers.

The sequel marks a pivotal moment for the franchise, offering fans another chance to connect with Garfield’s antics this time, with a familiar voice at the helm.
