Mike Myers Confirms Fourth Austin Powers Film After 24 Years
During a relaxed Q&A at Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party on June 20, 2026, Mike Myers dropped a surprise that sent Austin Powers fans into a new wave of excitement. When a fan asked if a fourth movie would ever hit the screen, the Canadian‑American comedian answered simply, “Yes,” and declined to reveal any further details.
The franchise’s roots stretch back to 1997 with International Man of Mystery, followed by The Spy Who Shagged Me in 1999 and Goldmember in 2002. Myers wrote the series and played the title character, the villain Dr Evil, the eccentric Fat Bastard, and the flamboyant Goldmember. Directed by Jay Roach and released by New Line Cinema, the trilogy grossed more than £500 million worldwide and boasted high‑profile cameos from Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Britney Spears and Beyoncé.
His recent confirmation echoes remarks he made at the 2024 AFI Life Achievement Award Gala. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Myers said he could neither confirm nor deny a new film, adding that “it’s likely to be from Dr Evil’s point of view.” The comment sparked speculation that a future sequel might center on the villain, though no plot or character details have surfaced.
The original films earned critical recognition, securing more than 20 awards and nominations, including an Academy Award nod for Best Makeup for The Spy Who Shagged Me. The second movie also featured Madonna’s Grammy‑winning “Beautiful Stranger,” a track that became closely associated with the series.
Despite the confirmation, Myers has yet to disclose a production schedule, cast, script, or release window for Austin Powers 4. He has also not indicated whether New Line Cinema or another studio will back the project. As of June 20, the film remains in an early development stage.
The announcement comes amid Myers’ active work on other projects, such as the Netflix original The Pentaverate and a recent Verizon commercial that saw him don an Austin Powers costume. The franchise remains one of Myers’ most celebrated creations, alongside Wayne’s World and his voice role in the Shrek series.
Industry observers note that the Austin Powers brand carries strong nostalgic appeal and a devoted fan base, yet the lack of concrete information keeps the project’s trajectory uncertain. No release date, distribution partner, or marketing plan has been disclosed, and it is unclear whether the film will be a theatrical release, a streaming premiere, or a hybrid model.
In the absence of further details, fans and analysts will likely keep an eye on Myers’ public appearances and official statements for additional clues. The next concrete development milestone—whether it be a completed script, casting announcement, or production start—remains to be announced.
Until such information is released, Austin Powers 4 remains a confirmed project in development, with the next tangible update still pending.
