Emma Stone, producing a Miss Piggy solo film with Jennifer Lawrence and Tony winner Cole Escola, denied rumors of portraying the Muppet icon in her W Magazine interview published January 7, 2026. Emphasizing Miss Piggy's star power, Stone shared the denial at the 5:56 mark of the video, fueling fan excitement online.
Emma Stone's interview with Lynn Hirschberg for W Magazine, primarily promoting her upcoming film Bugonia, revisited rumors of her involvement in the Miss Piggy project first announced by Lawrence in November 2025. The feature, originating from pandemic-era discussions, marks Miss Piggy's first solo outing after a 50-year career created by Bonnie Erickson and Frank Oz—her full filmography streams on Disney+.
"First of all, that is the biggest insult to Miss Piggy I’ve ever heard... Miss Piggy is playing Miss Piggy," Stone quipped, rejecting any notion of her or Lawrence taking the role.
The star-studded team includes Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), two-time Oscar winner Stone (La La Land, Poor Things, Cruella), and Cole Escola (2025 Tony for Oh, Mary!, upcoming as Bon Clay in Netflix's One Piece Season 3). Fans are thrilled at the prospect of Miss Piggy's big-screen story.
