Makers of actor Chris Pratt`s upcoming animated project `Garfield` have now announced the official release date of their film. `Garfield` is all set to hit the theatres on February 16, 2024.

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. The plot that will bring Garfield`s father back into his life remains under wraps. Although no other cast members have been announced, the film will presumably feature classic characters from the franchise, including his owner Jon Arbuckle and dim-witted puppy Odie.
