They're back and this time they're not here to restore their names, but rather clear them. Disney has unveiled the poster for the upcoming sequel to the Muppets movie, Muppets Most Wanted.
The poster for the film debuted exclusively on Entertainment Weekly on Monday and came complete with everyone's favorite puppet friends: Miss Piggy and her dog Foo-Foo, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Beaker, Animal and Walter. Of course, the Muppets would be nothing without their fearless leader, Kermit the Frog, which is why he's featured on the poster twice.
At least that's what it looks like at first glance. On the left half of the poster we see the Frog posing with his loveable smile that people have come to know. On the right half of the poster, a wood-be imposter poses with a Doctor Evil pinky in his mouth and a distinct "evil" mole on his right cheek.
According to EW, that's not Kermit but rather his "sinister Doppelganger, Constantine, the criminal mastermind whose plot to steal an enormous diamond sets the international crime caper story in motion."
Although Jason Segel did not return to pen the script or star as Walter's best friend, he's been replaced by three big-ticket names. The first is Ricky Gervais who co-stars as Constantine's villainous sidekick, Dominic. Ty Burrell is set to play a mustached Interpol agent. Finally Tina Fey is on board to play a Russian prison guard.
Muppets Most Wanted is set to hit theaters on March 21, 2014. In the meantime you can check out the teaser trailer for the sequel below and let us know what you think.
