Gary, Mary and Walter in HollywoodEdit

A scene was cut featuring Gary, Mary, and Walter touring Hollywood and visiting Grauman's Chinese Theatre. The scene included a cameo by Rob Corddry . According to puppeteer Peter Linz, it was a 3-page bit featuring a Superman impersonator.^[1]

Extended Muppet Labs RecruitmentEdit

An extended scene with the Muppets recruiting Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker to re-join the Muppets was filmed. Bunsen and Beaker are shown working at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, however the scene was edited and simply shown as part of the "Back in Black" montage.

Kermit and Piggy's Break Up FlashbackEdit

In the novelization, a scene is described that supposedly takes place as a flashback after Miss Piggy attacks Kermit in her Paris office, where Piggy recounts a fight after their wedding in The Muppets Take Manhattan, when she wanted to share with the world that they got married. Kermit being understandably upset about being tricked into marriage, fires her. She leaves, leading back to the scene with present day Piggy. Footage from the scene was reworked into the film's epilogue.

Gonzo's Head Bowling RehearsalEdit

Gonzo practices his bowling ball act backstage by successfully knocking a pin off Gary’s head. Clips of the bit were shown in various trailers and TV spots. According to the the novelization, the ball was a remote control contraption made by Muppet Labs. The end of the scene (in which Beaker is chased by the bowling ball) was reworked into the film's "We Built This City" cleaning montage, with the bowling ball replaced with a vacuum cleaner, and the shot sped up.

Muppets on the Red CarpetEdit
