Disney just made a move that is going to have longtime Muppet fans cheering, and honestly, it feels overdue. Miss Piggy, the glamorous icon who has been karate-chopping doubters for decades, is finally getting her own movie. Yes, a full-on blockbuster centered around Hollywood’s most fabulous pig.
It is the kind of news that instantly makes you picture Piggy strutting down a red carpet, tossing her hair, and telling every reporter that she has simply “always been worthy.”
A Solo Star Turn Years in the Making
Let’s take a second to acknowledge the moment here. Miss Piggy has been a core part of pop culture since the 1970s, appearing in classics like The Muppet Movie (1979), The Muppets (2011), and Muppets Most Wanted (2014). Yet somehow, even with all her screen-stealing power, she never got a true solo film.
That changes now, and it could mark the beginning of a much bigger Muppet resurgence. For years, fans have been asking Disney to bring more Muppet magic into the parks, onto streaming platforms, and back into theaters. A Miss Piggy-led film is a statement that Disney is ready to listen.
A-List Power Behind the Glam
This isn’t just Miss Piggy getting a movie. It is Miss Piggy getting a movie backed by some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Jennifer Lawrence revealed the announcement on the “Las Culturistas” podcast, sharing that she and Emma Stone are producing the project — and teasing that they may appear on screen too.
That alone would have made headlines. Then there is the screenplay coming from Cole Escola, fresh off a Tony-winning Broadway run. That blend of glam comedy, theatrical wit, and celebrity firepower? Fans should be excited.
Disney isn’t quietly experimenting here — they are putting real talent behind Piggy’s big moment.
Why This Matters for Disney Fans
When Disney invests in The Muppets, things get fun. They bring a mix of heart, humor, and charm you just don’t find anywhere else. Nostalgia lives here, but so does pure creativity.
This film could open the door to future specials, attractions, or bigger roles for fan-favorite characters like Kermit, Gonzo, and Fozzie. It feels like the beginning of something, not a one-off experiment.
And honestly, who better to lead the comeback than the Muppet who has always believed she deserved it?
Miss Piggy has waited for her spotlight. Now everyone gets to watch her take it.
