The Muppets are back — again

Jason Segel breathed new life into the Muppet franchise in 2011, and Disney isn’t about to lose the momentum.

This week Disney christened the sequel, “The Muppets … Again!”

Due March 21, 2014, the new film will have to make due without Segel and co-star Amy Adams, but it will have plenty of star power, including Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais and Ty Burrell.

Here’s how the Hollywood reporter describes the plot: “Mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine — the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit — and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.”
