The Muppets find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper in Muppets Most Wanted, coming to theaters in Spring 2014. Below, get a first look at the just-released teaser trailer for the sequel!

The all-new global Muppets adventure welcomes Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey to the mayhem, along with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Walter and rest of the Muppets. The film is directed by James Bobin ("Flight of the Conchords," "Da Ali G Show"), who was just nominated for a BAFTA for "The Muppets" (Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer), and produced by the Academy Award-nominated team of David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman ("The Fighter," "The Proposal"). With a screenplay by Bobin and Nicholas Stoller ("The Five-Year Engagement"), who is also executive producer with John Scotti, "The Muppets ... Again!" will feature music from Academy Award-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie ("Flight of the Conchords"), who won an Oscar for best original song for "The Muppets" ("Man or Muppet"). The new film will hit the big screen March 21, 2014.

Disney's "The Muppets Most Wanted' takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe's most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But 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, creator of "Derek" and the Golden Globe- and Emmy-winning series "The Office" and "Extras." The film stars Golden Globe-, Emmy- and SAG Award-winning actress and writer Tina Fey ("30 Rock," "Mean Girls," "Date Night") as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Emmy Award winner Ty Burrell (TV's "Modern Family") as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
