Variety reports that life will be a happy song for Christoph Waltz, who is set to play an Interpol agent in The Muppets sequel.
The film is currently being scripted by James Bobin and Nicholas Stoller, who directed and co-scripted the first film. Earlier this year, Stoller spoke about the involvement of Jason Segel. “Right now, yeah, there’s a cameo possibility in it, definitely. Gary and Mary’s story is concluded. There’s not much to say after that for their story, but we follow them up into a…I will say, it is a caper. It is a comedy caper”.
Disney are said to be looking to release the film as early as sometime next year. The real news behind the news here is that Disney are now in control of an empire that includes Mickey Mouse, Kermit the Frog, Darth Vader, Indiana Jones and The Avengers. Now there is a hot-tub party waiting to happen.
