Did Mike Myers just confirm ‘Austin Powers 4’ after cast reunion for Dr Evil ad?

Mike Myers has given the thumbs up to a new 'Austin Powers' film.

Asked by a fan on Trevor Noah's World Cup Watch Party whether there would be an 'Austin Powers 4', Myers responded simply, "Yes."

"Did Mike Myers just casually reveal Austin Powers 4?!" Noah posted to Instagram afterwards.

Myers has long said he'd be interested in another sequel, but has been noncommittal about whether it would actually happen. He has said in the past that he'd like such a film to focus heavily on Dr Evil.

Excitement for a potential fourth film gained hype when the cast of the iconic films reunited this week in an ad for US telecommunications company Verizon.

In the clip Mike Myers’ Dr Evil rounds up his crew - played by Rob Lowe, Seth Green and Mindy Sterling - to launch “Menace Mobile”.

Is this a potential sneak peek at what we could expect?! "'Hey let's do a commercial proving that we absolutely could make a quality Austin Powers film in 2026 and make people want it even more than they have the last 20 years'," one commenter wrote under the video.

Plenty more were left begging for another installment of the films.

Franchise director Jay Roach spoke to Deadline about the possibility of a fourth film back in 2020.

"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 three Austin Powers movies have to date collectively grossed well over half a billion dollars worldwide and have become cultural touchstones. It has been more than 20 years since the last instalment, 'Goldmember', in 2002.
