For his next adventure, Chris Pratt is bringing the iconic title character of The Garfield Movie to life! You can see the film exclusively in theaters on May 24.

Garfield (voiced by Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure! After an unexpected reunion with his long-lost father – scruffy street cat Vic (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) – Garfield and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered life into joining Vic in a hilarious, high-stakes heist.

“I mean, it’d be kind of dope to see him [Garfield] with Star-Lord. Yeah, he’d fit nicely in there, because his personality is different from anyone else’s personality. I think he has some good one-liners. He’s lazy and pampered, and snarky and sarcastic. I think he’d be a good fit in the MCU. But you’d have to make it a real version of Garfield,” the actor told me. “He’d have to be a living, breathing animal that you could really feel for and really see. I like it, man. ‘Cause they had Howard the Duck in the MCU, you could put Garfield in there.”

We discussed what an MCU crossover with Garfield and Star-Lord would look like, why he values doing animated projects for the whole family, and the first time he saw his version of Garfield.
