The Muppets will be coming back to the big screen soon. *throws hands in air like Kermit* YEEEAAAH!
According to Variety, Disney is looking to make a sequel for the recently rebooted franchise which has made over $150 million worldwide. The first film was co-written by Nicholas Stoller and Jason Segal, but Segal will not be working on the sequel.
While Segal was a key part of getting the first movie made, he has two films in the works in addition to his part on How I Met Your Mother. Instead, the director of the first film, James Bobin, will be working with Stoller to create a new script.
The film has been successful in theaters and will likely see a large market in at home sales. Bret McKenzie won the best song Oscar on Sunday for his song "Man or Muppet", Disney is hoping the win will push sales in the second and third screening theaters that still have the film.
The sequel was officially announced by Kermit and Miss Piggy during an appearance on ITV's This Morning. The Muppets have been on an international tour for the first film.
