Fans of Garfield have shared their frustration at the news that Chris Pratt has been cast in a forthcoming film adaptation.
“Chris Pratt as Garfield is the biggest miscast[ing] since Chris Pratt as Mario.”
Garfield was voiced by Bill Murray in two previous movie adaptations, Garfield: The Movie and Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, both of which were critically panned.
The news comes just weeks after it was revealed that Pratt will voice iconic video game character Mario in a forthcoming Super Mario movie, a decision that was met with a backlash of its own.
