Mike Myers confirms Austin Powers 4 is in the works

Mike Myers has given fans an exciting update about the future of the Austin Powers franchise, revealing that he is currently working on the fourth instalment of the popular spy comedy series.

The actor confirmed that there is a strong possibility the long-awaited sequel will finally become a reality. Speaking on the red carpet at the premiere of Focker-in-Law, Myers revealed that he has already started writing the new film and is enjoying the creative process.

“I’m writing it right now,” the actor shared, expressing his excitement about returning to the world of the iconic comedy franchise.

However, Myers remained tight-lipped about the storyline, refusing to reveal any details about what audiences can expect from the upcoming movie. When asked whether he could offer any hints, the actor explained that he had been advised not to tease the project.

His latest comments have increased excitement among fans, who have been waiting more than two decades for another Austin Powers adventure.

Myers previously indicated that the fourth movie could give more attention to Dr. Evil, the memorable villain he portrays alongside the franchise’s leading character. The possibility of exploring the character further has added another layer of anticipation surrounding the sequel.

The original Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery premiered in 1997, introducing audiences to the unusual British secret agent. It was followed by The Spy Who Shagged Me in 1999 and Goldmember in 2002. The franchise became a major comedy success, making Myers’ characters popular among audiences worldwide.

Meanwhile, the actor is also preparing to revisit another beloved character. Myers will return as the voice of Shrek in the upcoming Shrek 5, which is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on June 30, 2027.

Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz will also reprise their roles as Donkey and Fiona, respectively. Zendaya is joining the animated franchise as Felicia, while Marcello Hernandez and Skyler Gisondo will voice Fergus and Farkle.

Additionally, Murphy has revealed plans for a separate Donkey movie, expanding the popular animated universe with another project.

With both Shrek 5 and Austin Powers 4 generating excitement, Myers appears ready for another major return to two of his most recognised roles.
