Not only is Pratt playing Garfield, but he is also playing Mario in Universal Studios’ upcoming Super Mario Bros. film alongside Anya Taylor-Joy’s Princess Peach. He seems to enjoy voicing America’s most beloved characters. Given that both of these roles were announced fairly recently, there was plenty of buzz on Twitter. Some users joked about the actor’s multiple roles in upcoming movies.

Garfield the Cat made his debut in 1978 under daily comic strips created by Jim Davis. The comic strips narrate the life of Garfield, as well as his owner, Jon Arbuckle, and this family dog, Odie. America’s most famous cat even holds a Guinness World Record for being the world’s most widely syndicated comic strip. This isn’t the first time Garfield has made it to the big screen; Bill Murray was the voice behind Garfield in its on-screen debut and sequel in 2004 and 2006, respectively.
