The Muppets are back and this time, they're taking Europe by storm!
On Monday Disney unveiled the poster for the upcoming Muppets sequel, "Muppets Most Wanted" featuring everyone's favorite puppet gang: Miss Piggy and her dog Foo-Foo, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Walter, Beaker, Animal, and Kermit the Frog. Kermit's evil doppelganger, Constantine, is also featured on the poster striking a Dr. Evil-like pose. In addition, co-stars Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey are plastered on the poster.
Like other Muppet films, this one is filled with cameos including the stars of the last film, Jason Segel and Amy Adams. Others rumored to make appearances are Diddy, Celine Dion, Tom Hiddleston, Ray Liotta, and Usher.
In "Muppets Most Wanted," which is the highly anticipated sequel to 2011's "The Muppets," Kermit and the gang go on a European tour once he discovers that he bears a striking resemblance to the great criminal mastermind Constantine, who plots to steal an enormous diamond, reports Entertainment Weekly.
In 2011, "The Muppets" debuted in second place with a strong $42.3 million and appealed to a slightly older audience than expected, as only 35 percent of viewers were under the age of 18, according to Entertainment Weekly.
As stated on the official website:
"Disney's Muppets Most Wanted takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe's most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine-the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit-and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon."
"Muppets Most Wanted" hits theaters on March 21, 2014. In the meantime, check out the teaser trailer below:
