Hopefully you didn’t get too attached to Jason Segel’s character in last year’s The Muppets, as the lead star has confirmed he won’t be appearing in the sequel.
Segel told Collider:
It’s true [that I’m not involved writing the sequel] but it’s totally amicable. My goal was to bring The Muppets back and I did that, leaving them in very good hands, my writing partner and James Bobin the director. I did what I set out to do, and now I wanna pursue more human-related projects (laughs)… All I wanted to do was to set the stage for them to do whatever they wanted. I’m sure I’ll return in some capacity here and there, but that was half a decade of my life. Five years of hard work. I’m ready for a little puppet break.
At this time, there’s no word on whether or not his co-star Amy Adams will come back.
Will you miss Segel in the sequel? We had learned last week that he wouldn’t write the script but until now we were unsure if he’d be in it.
