In a quick moment during Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party, Mike Myers answered a fan’s question with a simple “yes” when asked if there will be an “Austin Powers 4.” The franchise’s last installment, “Goldmember,” arrived in 2002—more than 20 years ago—whil
A fan asked the question straight to Mike Myers on Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party. The moment didn’t need a long answer.
Asked whether there would be an “Austin Powers 4,” Myers responded simply: “yes.” He did not elaborate further.
Myers has said for years that he’d be interested in another sequel, but he’s been careful not to promise it would actually happen. In the past, he’s said he’d like such a film to focus heavily on Dr. Evil.
That interest isn’t exactly new to the team around the franchise. Franchise director Jay Roach talked about a fourth film back in 2020. telling Deadline: “I wouldn’t say ‘never’ never. but it does depend on Mike having something that he’s inspired about and after all these years it hasn’t quite clicked yet. But I’m always game for anything he wants to do. He’s a genius and he helped me get started and it was a blast.”.
The timing feels like it matters. New Line’s Austin Powers movies have collectively grossed well over half a billion dollars worldwide. and the franchise became a cultural touchstone far beyond its original run. More than 20 years have passed since the last installment, “Goldmember,” released in 2002.
The renewed attention around the character is also playing out in the present. This week, Verizon released a commercial featuring Myers and co-stars Seth Green, Mindy Sterling and Rob Lowe—another reminder that the world of Austin Powers is still recognizable even when the movies aren’t.
For now, Myers has offered the clearest sign yet, even if it comes in one word. The question isn’t whether there’s interest—he’s already said “yes.” The question is what. exactly. will make the idea “click. ” as Roach put it in 2020. and whether Dr. Evil remains the center of gravity Myers has previously wanted.

Yes?? so it’s already happening or just teasing us again.
I don’t trust that “yes” lol. Hollywood says that all the time. Also Verizon commercials always feel like they’re connected to something.
Wait, Trevor Noah was at a World Cup watch party and Mike Myers answered a fan?? That’s kinda wild. But does this mean it’ll be like Goldmember again or are they just doing a reboot with Dr. Evil like they said?
If Austin Powers 4 is coming then why is it taking them 20 years… seems like the plot would’ve been impossible without Netflix or something. I swear I saw Seth Green in a trailer for something else and thought it was this, so now I’m confused. Also “it depends on Mike having something he’s inspired about” sounds like maybe they’re never gonna start filming. I’ll still watch though, bring back Dr. Evil please.
