Broadway’s new play, Oh, Mary!, which tells the story of Mary Todd Lincoln stepping into the spotlight, seems to have inspired a similar journey for Miss Piggy. According to Jennifer Lawrence, Cole Escola, the creator of Oh, Mary!, is writing a feature film starring Miss Piggy, giving her the leading role she deserves. Lawrence revealed on the podcast Las Culturistas that she and Emma Stone are producing and will also co-star in the movie. Podcast hosts Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers were stunned by the news, with Rogers jokingly calling it “robbery” that Lawrence and Stone hadn’t worked together before now.
Let me tell you, the casting alone – two Oscar winners and one seriously overlooked pig – had me excited. But it’s the addition of Escola that takes this project from great to genuinely thrilling. They absolutely revived the image of Mary Todd Lincoln, and I have no doubt they can do the same for this 49-year-old pig. Watching Escola work, you can really see how Piggy’s energy – the strength, the wildness, the comedy, the sheer diva attitude – informed their portrayal of Mary Todd. In fact, they told Amy Poehler they’d love to see Piggy star in a movie about Mary Todd, surrounded by human actors. And get this – they admitted they were already talking to Disney about it! Clearly, they weren’t joking, and this movie is shaping up to be something special.
Industry experts are playfully predicting huge success if Disney moves forward with a Miss Piggy project written by Cole Escola, featuring Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence. They envision a billion-dollar opening weekend, numerous Oscar wins, the return of the classic MuppetVision 3D at Disney World with a new script by Escola, and even a potential Piggy-Escola presidential run in 2028! Until confirmed by someone other than Jennifer Lawrence, fans can see Piggy on Broadway in Rob Lake Magic With Special Guests the Muppets, though what that actually entails remains a mystery.
