Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone team up for Miss Piggy's first solo film

Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are producing an eagerly awaited Miss Piggy Muppet movie for Disney, with Cole Escole writing the script. Fans are keen to see how the duo will handle the production, given that Miss Piggy herself is the subject of the film.

Lawrence revealed, "I don’t know if I can announce this, but I am just going to … Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole is writing it." Disney has chosen to focus on Miss Piggy, a Muppet known for her breakthrough performance in the sketch comedy TV series The Muppet Show. Her defining characteristics include a temperamental diva superstar personality and a penchant for practicing karate.

The film is anticipated to be a major success, especially with Tony winner Cole Escola, known for their successful previous plays, as the writer. The excitement is further heightened by the fact that the movie brings together two actors, close friends for over a decade, in their very first time collaborating on screen.

Miss Piggy, who was widely recognised for her standout diva character on The Muppet Show, has also been recognised for her contributions to society with a feminist award at the Brooklyn Museum in New York.

She has now captured the hearts of fans.  Given her popularity, the producer has decided to create a spinoff movie centred on her, placing her in the spotlight. Fans hope the film maintains the iconic character traits she displayed in the original Muppets shows.

Fans have been actively expressing their opinions on the production across social media platforms.

On X, users shared mixed feelings. One user, TraumaDump, complained, "Miss Piggy was an absolute c*nt. Why would people want to watch an entire movie featuring that character?” This sentiment was countered by another user, gay’s Autonomy, who simply replied, “Because she was an absolute c*nt.” Meanwhile, CRISPKing showed curiosity, commenting, “Miss Piggy with JLaw/ EStone/Escola? I’m picturing dark comedy meets Muppet chaos. What’s the vibe?"

The conversation continued on TikTok, where CosplayBambi commented, "Okay, but they’re gonna use the actual Miss Piggy, right? Right? (istg if this is live action”). Another user, Fairy Numan, clarified the medium, replying, “You do realize that puppets are live action?”

Anticipation for the movie remains high as fans are impatiently waiting for the release date and further details. With Cole Escola writing the script and acclaimed comedic actresses JLaw and EStone producing it, fans are expecting a top-tier comedy.
