After more than two decades of speculation, Mike Myers confirmed Austin Powers 4 is in the works—though there’s still no official release date, production hasn’t started, and the cast hasn’t been announced. Fans can at least brace for late-2027 to 2028 timing
The moment a fan asked Mike Myers whether Austin Powers 4 is actually happening, he didn’t stretch it out or dodge it. At Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party in June 2026, Myers answered simply: “Yes.”
It’s a small word. but after years of waiting—since 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember hit theaters—“Yes” lands like a door finally opening. More than two decades have passed with fans wondering whether the International Man of Mystery would return to the big screen. Now, at least one half of the franchise’s DNA is moving again.
At the time of publication, Austin Powers 4 does not have an official release date. Production has yet to commence. which means there isn’t a projected release date that can be treated as anything official. Still. if filming begins within the next year. a realistic release window could fall in late 2027 or 2028—depending on whether a studio formally announces plans to produce and distribute the fourth film.
That possibility isn’t arriving out of nowhere. For years, Mike Myers and director Jay Roach have expressed interest in revisiting the franchise. Myers has repeatedly hinted that there’s more to tell, and Roach has said he’d welcome the opportunity to return.
No cast members have been officially announced yet, but fans are already bracing for Myers to be front and center. Across the Austin Powers franchise, he famously played multiple characters, including Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Fat Bastard and Goldmember. A fourth movie would likely see him reprise at least some of those fan-favorite roles—if not all.
There’s also one heavy absence hanging over any potential reunion. Verne Troyer, who portrayed Mini-Me in the original films, died in 2018.
Until Austin Powers 4 is ready to swing back into action, the franchise’s original trilogy is the stop-gap. Fans can revisit Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999) and Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002). The movies are often available to rent or purchase through services such as Prime Video. Apple TV and Fandango at Home.

So it’s confirmed yes… but like when tho? Late 2028 or whatever.
I saw somewhere Jay Roach already started filming??? But then this says no production yet… so which one is it lol. Either way I hope they bring back Mini-Me somehow, cuz that’s the best part.
The article says “Yes” at Trevor Noah’s thing like that’s proof. Kinda feels like a press thing. Also if they’re waiting till 2028, why not just do a streaming release instead of big screen? People will forget the jokes.
I don’t trust it until there’s a cast announcement. Mike Myers has said stuff before and Hollywood drags their feet. And with Verne Troyer gone, I’m guessing they’ll just replace Mini-Me with some random new guy, which kinda sucks honestly. Still tho I’m down, Austin Powers is classic.
