Mike Myers confirms that a fourth installment of the Austin Powers franchise is in the works. On “Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party,” a fan asks whether viewers will ever see an “Austin Powers 4,” and Myers answers simply “yes,” offering no further explanation or release information. The short response quickly spreads across outlets and online posts capturing the moment.
Reporters also note that the franchise has been dormant for decades: the most recent Austin Powers film was released about 24 years ago. Myers has previously said he is interested in returning for another sequel, and director Jay Roach has linked any potential future to whether Myers feels inspired to make something new. Earlier reporting also described Myers’ interest in framing a possible sequel from Dr Evil’s perspective, though he did not provide new specifics during this latest exchange.
Other franchise figures have commented on what they would like to see, but sources agree that the only fresh confirmation so far is Myers’ brief “yes.”
