Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone to Produce Miss Piggy Movie

In a surprising Hollywood team-up, Academy Award winners Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are set to produce a feature film starring the legendary Muppet character, Miss Piggy. Lawrence announced the project on the “Las Culturistas” podcast, revealing that playwright and star Cole Escola is writing the script. While not officially confirmed, Lawrence strongly suggested that both she and Stone would also star in the film.

A Powerhouse Collaboration

The pairing of Lawrence and Stone represents a significant collaboration between two of the most acclaimed actors of their generation. Both actresses rose to prominence in the 2010s through a combination of blockbuster franchises and award-winning dramatic roles.

• Jennifer Lawrence: Known for her Oscar-winning role in Silver Linings Playbook and leading parts in The Hunger Games series and X-Men prequels.
• Emma Stone: A two-time Best Actress Oscar winner for La La Land and Poor Things, who also starred in The Amazing Spider-Man films.

Both are currently in the Oscar race for their performances in Die My Love (Lawrence) and Bugonia (Stone).

The Star: Miss Piggy

Miss Piggy first appeared in 1974 and became a global icon as a lead on The Muppet Show. Known for her diva personality and tumultuous relationship with Kermit the Frog, the character was even the subject of a fan campaign for a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in 1979’s The Muppet Movie.

A Muppets Renaissance at Disney

This Miss Piggy film is part of a broader resurgence of Muppets projects at Disney. According to recent reports, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are filming a Muppet Show special for Disney+ to celebrate the series’ 50th anniversary in 2026, which could serve as a backdoor pilot for a new series. These developments indicate a renewed commitment to the beloved characters after a period of relative inactivity.
