Muppets Most Wanted trailer released

Disney has posted the full trailer for Muppets Most Wanted on Youtube today. The sequel to 2011's The Muppets  won't be in theatres for a while but it looks like it will be worth the wait.

MMW will be a direct sequel to The Muppets and features the gang going on a global tour. Trouble is lurking however when they get tangled up in a crime caper courtosy of the World's Number One Criminal, Constantine who looks exactly like Kermit.

While it will still be a while before we can watch the movie in theatres (a March 20th release for the United States will probably mean a May/June release for Europe) we can at least be comforted by the thought that it looks like the Muppets Studio put a lot of effort in it instead of cashing in on the franchise revival and releasing yearly sequels.
