With Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey

The first trailer for the Muppet movie sequel has been released online.

Muppets Most Wanted will feature Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell – and is due out in Match 2014.

The action takes place across the world – including Berlin, Madrid and London – as the Muppets become unwittingly embroiled in an international crime gang headed by Constantine— a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Gervais.

Fey plays Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Burrell the Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon. Bret McKenzie from Flight Of The Conchords has again written the score.

It is a sequel to the hit 2011 revival which grossed $158 million worldwide against a $45 million budget.

The trailer includes a Lawrence of Arabia-esque desert scene, Fey in the gulag-style prison camp – and Scooter singing Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger:
