Muppet Movie Celebrity Cameos May Include Lady Gaga?

by Susana Polo | 12:43 pm, November 12th

We already know that Lady Gaga has a certain affection for the Muppets. Any performer who could actually get Kermit the Frog to drop her off at the VMAs must have some pull with our felted friends (Especially when you consider that it is Muppet company policy to only have one performer per character. Kermit only goes where Steve Whitmire goes).

Now, the possibility that (gasp!) a Romanian, Sebastian Stan, will get the role.

Each iteration of this has witnessed a flurry of articles, listicles, further speculations, and, of course, fan polls — not only at superhero movie-devoted outlets like MTV’s Splash Page and fansites like ComicBookMovie, but among the heavy hitters. Here’s the thing: Does anyone really care who plays Captain America is that much?
