Is Austin Powers Getting Unfrozen Again For New Movie? Mike Myers’ Latest Update Has Me Strangely Optimistic

by

As a long-time gamer and avid movie enthusiast who grew up with the groovy antics of Austin Powers, hearing about potential news for a fourth installment has me shaking my boots with excitement! I can’t help but feel like Dr. Evil with a time machine, eagerly waiting for that magical day in 2025 when we could once again enjoy the shagadelic adventures of our favorite super-cool spy.

In three years, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery will celebrate its 30th birthday, an interesting coincidence since the character was frozen for a 30-year period before making his debut in 1997. Could it be that this beloved spy, known for his cool demeanor, might reawaken for a fourth movie by 2025? Mike Myers may not confirm it outright, but recent updates have sparked hopeful anticipation.

There’s been talk about the iconic character from the Austin Powers franchise potentially appearing in a fourth movie ever since the third film, which had a Goldmember vibe, came out in 2002. However, I always keep a pinch of salt handy when hearing about Austin Powers 4 because Mike Myers’ optimistic demeanor often makes his statements sound like exciting precursors of fantastic news.

Perhaps I’m overemphasizing the possibility, given his response to TooFab about the potential return of Austin Powers. To quote him directly:

It’s ah … I would be surprised if it didn’t.

Instead of saying “It’s not as if he said the ink is drying on the contracts,” we could say “He didn’t explicitly state that the contracts are being signed, but the outlet notes that Mike Myers was deliberate in his choice of words.

Mike Myers, being a dedicated parent to his three children (aged 13, 10, and 9), might have been occupied with family duties, which could explain why he hasn’t fully committed to an Austin Powers comeback yet. However, as the kids grow older, there may be more opportunities for him to revisit the Austin Powers universe, though it remains uncertain at this stage.

Additionally, let’s not overlook the fact that Myers once again played Dr. Evil in a Super Bowl commercial, joining other returning actors such as Rob Lowe. Fans were eagerly anticipating a larger comeback as a result. However, it’s been almost three years since then, and while there doesn’t appear to have been immediate momentum following this event, the possibility of a bigger return remains.

Myers discussed with TopMob about transitioning The Pentaverate, his amusing Netflix series, to TV. This venture held significant importance to him as its creator. As an enthusiast of the over-the-top conspiracy comedy, I’ve been disappointed that it didn’t get a second season. However, I can only cross my fingers that the excitement among fans for the ogre’s return in Shrek 5’s animated sequel will generate enough public interest to persuade him to don the bald cap once more for a new Austin Powers venture.

Essentially, Myers mentioned fewer details about Shrek 5 compared to a potential Austin Powers comeback, but this might be because he wants to keep storylines secret. Remarkably, participating in one project could pave the way for future involvements. By the way, any updates on Wayne’s World 3 would be great too!
