According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tina is nearing a deal to star in “The Muppets” European-set sequel as a Russian Gulag prison guard.

If the actress signs on for the movie, she would join Ricky Gervais (who she co-starred with in 2009’s “The Invention of Lying”) as the two human lead characters in the beloved puppet story.

“Modern Family’s” Ty Burrell is also on board, playing a “lazy” Interpol inspector, THR reported.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Jason Segel — who penned and starred in the first “Muppets” reboot back in 2011 — will not be involved in the sequel.

“I worked on [‘The Muppets’] for half a decade. I’m incredibly proud of what I did,” Jason explained to Access Hollywood last year, of why he chose to pass puppet torch. “My goal wasn’t to become a Muppet – I just wanted to restore The Muppets to The Muppets I grew up with and give them a platform to do everything that they want to do.”

Adding, “I had what I think was a really good idea for the Muppet re-launch and I didn’t have an organic idea ready for the sequel, so I thought [I should] leave it to someone who does,” he said.
