- THE MUPPETS 2
 |
| Ricky Gervais |
Walt Disney Pictures' upcoming sequel to their 2011 The
Muppets appears to have found its human lead. The Hollywood Reporter brings
word that Ricky Gervais is in talks to star. He'd join the just-confirmed Ty
Burell, who will play an Interpol agent.
Director James Bobin and writer Nicholas Stoller are set to
return behind the camera, but Jason Segel will not be back as the star.
Gervais' character (which is still unknown) will likely fill in as a similar
style of leading man.
"We kind of felt like we completed Gary's story in the
first one," Stoller told ComingSoon.net in a recent interview, "and
he's mostly interested in writing stuff for him to be in, which makes sense,
right? He didn't want to go on and write the next one. I was like, 'Do you care
if I do it with James?' He's like, 'Of course not.'"
