Jennifer Lawrence Teases More Of Her New Miss Piggy Movie

Jennifer LawrenceJennifer Lawrence is opening up more about the new film she’s producing based on screen icon, Miss Piggy.Earlier this week, the Die, My Love star teased during an interview on the podcast Las Culturistas that she and fellow Oscar winner Emma Stone were co-producing a new film centred around the legendary Muppets character, which Tony recipient Cole Escola would write.Naturally, this news was met with a lot of buzz, with Jimmy Fallon grilling her about it further when she stopped by The Tonight Show on Wednesday.During the interview, Jen hailed Piggy as a “feminist icon”, and explained that the germ of the idea for the new movie came during lockdown, at a time when so-called “cancel culture” was being debated extensively, and a friend suggested: “It would be so funny if Miss Piggy got cancelled.”“Now, that is not the plot [of the film], necessarily,” the former Hunger Games actor was quick to clarify. “But it got the wheels turning. [We realised], ’wait, there hasn’t actually been, like, a feminist Miss Piggy starring [role]. So I started producing it.”She revealed she then turned to Emma Stone for help with co-producing as she considers herself more of an “ideas guy”, while the Poor Things star is both a “Muppets-head” and a “shark”.“I went to her to be like, ‘what do we do?’,” Jennifer added. “So now, Cole is writing it, and they are perfect. And yeah!”Asked if she’ll also star in the project, she replied: “I think so. I mean, I have to be. I mean, I want to be.”A @MissPiggy film is in the works with help from Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone & Cole Escola! #FallonTonightpic.twitter.com/54JY50728b— The Tonight Show (@FallonTonight) November 6, 2025Miss Piggy first shot to fame in the 1970s, when she was introduced as the resident diva on The Muppet Show.In the decades since, she’s become one of the franchise’s most cherished stand-out characters, most recently appearing in 2021’s Muppets Haunted Mansion.Next year, she’s set to share the screen with Sabrina Carpenter in a one-off special revival of The Muppet Show, commemorating 50 years since the first episode aired, which will be written by Emmy winner Seth Rogen.READ MORE:Here's What Happened When HuffPost UK Met Muppets Rockers The Electric MayhemDaniel Craig Has Seen Your Calls For A Muppets/Knives Out Crossover, And He Has Thoughts'I Was Terrified Of Directing Muppet Christmas Carol': Brian Henson Reflects On The Festive Fave
