Poster! Poster? Maybe poster.

Is it a phony or the real deal, dude? I guess that's about as far as an onion can get in mysterious questions. Eh.

I found this poster here Is it real?--The World's Smelliest Onion (The World's Smelliest Message Wall) 20:46, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

It's fake. - Oscarfan (talk) 21:09, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, that's too bad. Cool fan work, though.--The World's Smelliest Onion (The World's Smelliest Message Wall) 21:25, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Title?

So how official is "The Muppets II" as a title now? Can we go off of the new logo they released, or is it still too early? -- Ken (talk) 05:07, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

It's a working title, but if it's what they're using, it's what people will be searching for. We might want to think about using it at least for good SEO. —Scott (message me) 05:11, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

They haven't officially used a title of "The Muppets II" with Roman numerals (or even "The Muppets 2," "The Muppets Two", etc). The only reference to a title (working title or otherwise) is the teaser image which says The Muppets A (with two fingers). -- Brad D. (talk) 01:54, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

What about redirects from The Muppets 2 and The Muppets II, to here? If I remember correctly, Google takes the redirect title and the body text of the page it redirects to. -- Zanimum 19:50, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Since they're officially using The Muppets II as a public working title, I set it up as a redirect. —Scott (message me) 20:11, May 3, 2012 (UTC)

Teaser Poster

Although the "teaser poster" posted on this page is a very nice-looking one, it appears to be a fan creation. For one thing, it seems very unlikely that a studio would create a promotional advertisement for a film that hasn't even started production yet, yet alone is months away from being released. The poor grammar of both the tagline "RETURNS COMING SOON" as well as the copyright notice alongside the Disney one seem to show that it is of foreign origin and not authorized by Disney. The incredibly poor grammar of the second copyright notice definitely appears to give it away: "Desing [sic] 2012 © JP Home Entertainment. This presents poster illustration logos to form that may not be used in the original. Not for sale. Are subject to the same i duplication." Googling "JP Home Entertainment" leads to a website of Argentinean origin which seems to specialize in DVD cover designs for bootlegged movies. I would assume that whoever is responsible for these also designed the poster. Therefore, I think it is safe to say that the poster is not an official Disney promotional image and I have decided to remove it and the reference to it from the page.

For that matter, is there any place where anyone who we'd consider a reliable source has indicated that "The Muppets 2" is a working title? If we can't source it, I'd suggest moving it to "The Muppets sequel." -- Andrew Leal (talk) 05:01, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Ryan! I figured it wasn't real, but it was driving me crazy as to where it came from. Right now, Disney is busy promoting the video release of the first movie, so it wouldn't make sense to release a poster for a sequel that hasn't even started production yet. Thanks for your detective work!

By the way, I hope they don't use "The Muppets 2". That was The Great Muppet Caper. -- Ken (talk) 05:03, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Aw man, I was all ready to be super-excited. Ryan -- thanks for looking at it more closely. :) -- Danny (talk) 05:08, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Kermit and Walter refer to it as "The Muppets 2" in an interview, but I don't think that should count. I agree with Andrew in renaming the page "The Muppets sequel" until we know we more about this. -- Jon (talk) 12:56, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Moving this page to "The Muppets sequel" (or simply bringing back "Muppet movie news") to track the developments of the next film until we get an official source on the title sounds fair to me.

And, Ken, regarding Great Muppet Caper being The Muppets 2 the working title for that was actually The Muppet Movie 2 [1] [2] ;) -- Brad D. (talk) 16:29, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

I know, I was just being silly. After all of the fan comments that "The Muppets" was such a bland, generic title, I was just poking fun at calling the next one "The Muppets 2", and then "The Muppets 3", and then we wind up with a bunch of movies that look like Chicago albums. -- Ken (talk) 04:02, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

I moved the page to "The Muppets sequel" until we get a better source for a title. -- Brad D. (talk) 14:42, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

New Title

The title is now Muppets Most Wanted.

Cameo?

In the new Steve Whitmire cameo photo we have, is that Benicio Del Toro by Danny Trejo? Or is my mind playing tricks on me? ---- Jesse (talk) 02:22, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

I think those are Danny Trejo and Jemaine Clement, Bret McKenzie's douple in Flight of the Conchords. ---- EnekoR

How didn't I guess Jemaine? Anywho, never mind. ---- Jesse (talk) 16:48, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Where in the movie does Gramps appear?
