"Thor" and "The Avengers" star Hiddleston was listed in the role of 'The Great Escapo' on his official agency CV, though the company has since deleted the link.
Meantime Serafinowicz tweeted: "Just finished my little bit on the #Muppets movie with @Dexfletch. What a thrill. I got to meet Kermit!!!!!"
In this Europe set adventure there are a trio of key human roles--Tina Fey will be playing a Russian gulag prison guard Modern Family star Ty Burrell will play the key role of an Interpol official--Christoph Waltz was originally in talks for that part--Now he will just cameo--Ricky Gervais is playing a character with questionable intentions. Gervais even confirmed that Waltz is indeed still part of the project, in fact he has already completed filming his scenes.There's also likely going to be a number of celebrity cameos--including Ray Liotta and Til Schweiger.
Here's the official synopsis:
Mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine -- the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit -- and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon
The Muppets human star/co-writer Jason Segel, will not be returning for the follow-up, but director James Bobin is coming back. Bobin co-wrote the script with Nicholas Stoller.
