Mike Myers Confirms 'Austin Powers 4' Is in Development

Mike Myers has officially confirmed that a fourth installment of the "Austin Powers" franchise is in the works. The actor, who portrays both Austin Powers and Dr. Evil, gave a simple "yes" when asked by a fan during an appearance on Trevor Noah's World Cup Watch Party on June 17, 2026. He did not provide further details about the project.

Myers has previously expressed interest in returning to the franchise, particularly with a storyline that focuses heavily on the villainous Dr. Evil. Director Jay Roach, who helmed the previous three films, told Deadline in 2020 that a fourth movie is possible but depends on Myers finding creative inspiration. “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,” Roach said. “But I’m always game for anything he wants to do.”

The "Austin Powers" films, produced by New Line Cinema, have collectively grossed over half a billion dollars worldwide and remain cultural touchstones. The last installment, "Goldmember," was released in 2002—more than 20 years ago. The franchise has recently been revived in popular culture through a Verizon commercial featuring Myers, Seth Green, Mindy Sterling, and Rob Lowe.
