8itnerds posted a photo of Muppets star Kermit The Frog dressed up as Captain James T. Kirk, of Star Trek, complete with phaser in hand (hope it’s set to stun!).

No mention of where the photo came from. Check out the full photo of “Captain Kermit Of The U.S.S. Enterprise” here below.

Get ready for Muppet mayhem in March 2014, as a preview of Muppets Most Wanted shown today at the Disney D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA, suggests this will be a fantastic sequel to the 2011 feature, The Muppets.

The newly-shown footage says that Constantine, the villainous Kermit look-alike with a mole, is the “world’s greatest criminal (that) bears resemblance to someone you know.” Constantine is a riot, as indicated by the clips, including a musical sequence where he asserts his “number one” authority over Ricky Gervais’ character, Dominic, aka Number Two.

The scene began with the Muppets in a theatre, looking for Kermit, and in comes Gervais with Kermit “clone” Constantine, who tries to cover up his European accent. Animal senses this is not his amphibian pal and attempts to eat Constantine’s arm. Constantine talks with Walter, but the cheerful Muppet does not understand who this is. Constantine struggles to say the word “burglary” when scheming with Gervais’ character, and then the two enter their duet on a staircase. They even “tap dance.” This was hilarious, and the audience was apparently the “first in the world” to see this footage, according to Walt Disney Studios Chairman Sean Bailey.

Walt Disney has released a teaser trailer for Muppets Most Wanted, a sequel to the 2011 hit, The Muppets, which scored rave reviews, $158.4 million worldwide on a $45 million budget, and an Oscar for Best Original Song.

The sequel stars Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell, and all your favorite Muppet characters, and will be released on March 21, 2014. Original director James Bobin returns once again to direct, from a screenplay he penned with Nick Stoller. Jason Segel, who starred in and co-wrote the first movie with Stoller, is not involved in the sequel.
