Developments

 * When asked about the prospects of a sequel prior to the release of The Muppets, Jason Segel said "I don't know, we haven’t really started thinking about a sequel yet. We’re just waiting to see how this goes." When he was asked about making standalone film rather than a direct sequel, he replied: "I think that’s a little bit more Muppety, yeah. The Great Muppet Caper is so different from The Muppets Take Manhattan which is so different from The Muppet Movie. I agree with you. I think that’s the better approach."


 * On February 13, 2012, during a British promotional appearance on This Morning on ITV, Kermit and Miss Piggy stated that a sequel was happening.


 * On March 3, 2012 it was announced in Variety that James Bobin and Nick Stoller would pen the screenplay for the sequel.
