With filming set to begin in the new year, The Muppets 2 is finalising their human cast to star opposite Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the gang as they get up to their usual anarchic antics in Europe. Now the film has it it's human lead, with Ricky Gervais, an actor long rumoured with the role, going to Twitter to confirm that he will indeed be starring in the film. Nothing much is know about the character, or the movies story for that matter, but I wouldn't be surprised if it will be along the same lines of Jason Segal's Gary from the original. Gervais will be joining other new cast member Ty Burrell (t.v's Modern Family), replacing the already announced Cristoph Waltz as an Interpol agent.
No release date has been given as of yet.
