Miss Piggy is finally getting her own movie, and her star power has already brought Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone, and Cole Escola on board.
Miss Piggy Movie in Development
Variety reported on the star-studded new project after Jennifer Lawrence spilled the beans on the “Las Culturistas” podcast:
“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 [Escola] is writing it,” Lawrence revealed on the podcast “Las Culturistas,” hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. After the co-hosts shrieked with excitement and asked whether long-time friends Stone and Lawrence would co-star in the film, Lawrence teased, “I think so. We have to… It’s f***ed up [that we haven’t done a movie together].“
It’s not surprising that such a high-wattage star as Miss Piggy would attract such talent to her first-ever solo feature. Lawrence and Stone have each garnered multiple Best Actress Oscar nominations, with Lawrence winning in 2012 for Silver Linings Playbook and Stone in 2016 and 2023 for La La Land and Poor Things, respectively. Stone also played the titular role in 2021’s Cruella, the live-action origin story of Disney villain Cruella de Vil.
Bringing Miss Piggy’s story to the screen will be Cole Escola, a Broadway sensation for their play Oh, Mary! Along with winning the 2025 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play, they were also nominated for the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Cole will next be seen as the villainous Bon Clay in season three of Netflix’s live-action “One Piece.”
Miss Piggy
Although Miss Piggy has indisputably been one of The Muppets’ stars since her creation in the 1970s by Bonnie Erickson and Frank Oz, she has never helmed her own feature film. Nevertheless, her filmography is truly impressive, with five decades of acclaimed film and television roles. Watch her full filmography on Disney+.
