US Edition‘Miss Piggy’ Movie: Who’s Going to Star? Emma Stone Reveals She Won’t Play Her | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip
Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence are producing a Miss Piggy film with the character playing herself, emphasizing respect for the icon, as confirmed by Stone in a recent interview.
- Emma Stone told W Magazine that she will not portray Miss Piggy in the Disney film she is producing with Jennifer Lawrence, linking her remarks to her 2025 release Bugonia.
- The concept grew from lockdown-era conversations and mentions of cancel culture, with Jennifer Lawrence first announcing the project on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers's Las Culturistas podcast in November 2025 and Cole Escola, Tony-winning playwright, writing the screenplay.
- Stone rejected the idea outright, saying `First of all, that is the biggest insult to Miss Piggy I've ever heard, and I will not have her name dragged through the mud like that.` She added, `No, of course I'm not playing Miss Piggy.`
- The film represents the first collaboration for Stone and Lawrence, who confirmed they will appear on screen as part of Disney's Muppets slate with a February 4 Disney+ special and a new roller-coaster at Walt Disney World later this year.
- Stone framed her refusal as respect for the character, noting there is only one Miss Piggy and asking, `Why would I play a literal star? She's the greatest,` W Magazine reported.
