Disney Goes “All-In” on “The Muppets” With Miss Piggy Movie

Wait 5 sec.

For decades, Disney fans have adored The Muppets, but let’s be honest, recent years have felt a bit quiet for Kermit and the gang. Sure, we’ve had specials here and there, and Miss Piggy continues to be a social-media icon in her own right, but nothing has fully pushed them back into the cultural spotlight the way so many fans have hoped for. That changes now.Disney is making a bold move to bring The Muppets back to center stage, and they are doing it with the one Muppet who has always acted like she should’ve been there anyway: Miss Piggy.Credit: DisneyYep, Miss Piggy is finally getting the star treatment she has demanded for years with her very own movie.A Solo Spotlight Decades in the MakingMiss Piggy has been stealing scenes since the 1970s, and yet she has never led her own feature film. It’s wild when you think about it. She’s been a fashion icon before Instagram existed, a comedy powerhouse across television and movies, and the unstoppable definition of confidence long before self-love slogans were printed on tote bags.Now she’s finally getting the leading-lady spotlight she has always deserved. This project isn’t just about bringing back a nostalgic character. It’s Disney doubling down on The Muppets brand in a way we haven’t seen in a long time. A Miss Piggy movie sends one clear message: The Muppets are not going anywhere. In fact, they’re gearing up for a renaissance.A-List Talent Joins the Piggy-VerseJennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone — two of Hollywood’s most powerful actresses — are not only involved, they’re helping lead the project behind the scenes. Lawrence recently revealed the movie while chatting on the “Las Culturistas” podcast, teasing that both she and Stone are producing and potentially starring in the film.Cole Escola, fresh off major Broadway success, will be writing the screenplay. Their theatrical comedy chops combined with Miss Piggy’s signature drama? That’s a match made in chaos-and-comedy heaven.Bringing Lawrence, Stone, and Escola together shows how serious Disney is about elevating this project. This isn’t just a Muppet movie — it’s shaping up to be a major creative and comedic moment.Credit: D23Why This Matters for The MuppetsThe Muppets carry a special kind of fandom. They’re nostalgic, but still incredibly relevant when handled with care and a modern sense of humor. Miss Piggy’s voice resonates with classic fans and new generations who love her diva attitude and confident flair.Disney giving Miss Piggy her own film could open the door for more Muppet-focused projects if this one lands big. Think bigger merchandising pushes, park tie-ins, streaming specials, and maybe even that long-dreamed-about Muppet renaissance fans keep hoping for.This movie could be the spark that brings them roaring back.What to ExpectWe don’t have plot details yet, but knowing Miss Piggy, we can expect fashion, humor, ridiculous levels of drama, and a cameo or two from her froggy soulmate — even if she pretends she doesn’t need him.This feels like the perfect formula: beloved characters, a modern comedic voice, and A-list Hollywood talent behind the scenes. If done right, Piggy’s solo adventure could be the start of a whole new era for The Muppets.Disney going “all-in” on Miss Piggy is a big, exciting swing. Fans have been wanting a true Muppet moment again, and if Disney sticks the landing, this diva-driven film could be the boldest comeback the franchise has seen in years.Kermit, buckle up. Miss Piggy isn’t just entering the spotlight — she’s kicking the door down in heels.The post Disney Goes “All-In” on “The Muppets” With Miss Piggy Movie appeared first on Inside the Magic.
