“During lockdown, one of my good friends who is not in the industry—it was also kind of around cancel culture, both things were kind of happening at once,” Jennifer reflected, “she was like, ‘You know, it would be so funny if Miss Piggy got canceled.'”
She continued to laughs from the crowd, “And that is not the plot necessarily, but it got the wheels turning, of like, ‘Wait, there hasn’t actually been like a feminist Miss Piggy-starring movie.'”
While she dubbed herself as the “ideas guy,” she noted that fellow Oscar winner Emma is the “shark” she needed to make the idea a reality—and become the first time the pals costar together. While no release date has been shared, the film will also be the first time Miss Piggy’s individual story is told since she first appeared on The Muppet Show in 1976.
