Clarkson is directing the feature from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Morbius).

The film will, for the first time, introduce fans to Garfield's father, Vic, which is the role Jackson will be voicing. Chris Pratt is cast as the lead voice of Garfield the cat. Mark Dindal (Chicken Little) is directing from a script by David Reynolds (Finding Nemo). The film is, of course, based on the phenomenal comic strip by Jim Davis.
Thor: Love and Thunder | Full Cast Poster
The social campaign for Thor: Love and Thunder has dropped another new poster featuring the assembled cast of the film. Front and center are Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Natalie Portman as the new Thunder God. They're backed up by Korg (mo-capped and voiced by director Taika Waititi) and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie. Christian Bale's villainous Gorr hovers in the background. We also see the mythic goats Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr pulling the Asgardian chariot. One other interesting facet for those zooming way in on the artwork: Jaimie Alexander is confirmed in the cast credits at the foot of the key art. The film arrives in theaters July 8.
