Disney has launched the campaign for the upcoming Muppets film with a brand-new poster, Entertainment Weekly reported.

The first "Muppets Most Wanted" poster features Miss Piggy and her dog Foo-Foo, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Walter, Beaker, Animal, Kermit the Frog--and Kermit's doppelganger, Constantine.

The sinister Constantine serves as the plot's catalyst, stealing a huge diamond to start the international crime caper.

While Jason Segel, who co-wrote and starred in 2011's "The Muppets," didn't return for the second film, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and Ricky Gervais should add plenty of hilarity to the new mix.

Gervais portrays Constantine's villainous sidekick, Dominic; Ty Burrell plays a mustachioed Interpol agent and Tina Fey co-stars as a Russian prison guard, EW reports.

The star-studded cast will also feature Tom Hiddleston, Salma Hayek, Christoph Waltz, Lady Gaga, Debby Ryan and Bridgit Mendler.

A first teaser trailer for the film surfaced in August; the footage shows the Muppets traveling the globe this time around. The new movie is slated for a March 2014 release.

The Muppets will next appear with Lady Gaga in an ABC Thanksgiving special: "Lady Gaga & the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular," the Los Angeles Times reported.

"I was so excited when ABC called me about doing a holiday special this year," Gaga said in a statement. "I knew it just wouldn't be a complete night of laughter and memories without the Muppets! Can't wait to see the gang again and I hope Miss Piggy's still not mad about Kermit. We're just friends!"

The special will also feature a sneak peek at "Muppets Most Wanted," which features Gaga "in a spectacular cameo performance."

"The Muppets", which also starred Amy Adams and Rashida Jones, grossed more than $165 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo.
