AUSTIN POWERS 4 IS HAPPENING: MIKE MYERS CONFIRMS SEQUEL!

Austin Powers 4 is finally happening! Mike Myers himself confirmed the long-awaited sequel, dropping the bomb during a World Cup Watch Party with Trevor Noah. This news follows a recent Verizon commercial that saw Myers reprise his iconic role as Dr. Evil, reuniting the nefarious foursome – No. 2 (Rob Lowe), Frau Farbissina (Mindy Sterling), and Scott Evil (Seth Green) – for the first time since their 2022 Super Bowl GM ad.

This confirmation is a massive deal for fans who have been waiting two decades. The Austin Powers franchise, famous for its hilarious spoofs of classic British spy films like James Bond, launched in 1997 with International Man of Mystery. Subsequent films, The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Goldmember (2002), solidified its place as a comedy favorite. Myers was the heart of the series, masterfully playing multiple roles including Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, and others like Fat Bastard. While the Verizon ad was a cheeky promotion featuring Dr. Evil's attempt to launch "Menace Mobile," it was clearly a warm-up for something bigger. Myers’ brief but direct "Yes" signals the groovy spy's return to the big screen. The details are still under wraps, but the Austin Powers universe is officially back in business.
