Mike Myers has recently confirmed that “Austin Powers 4” is really happening, much to the delight of fans who have been waiting nearly 25 years to see new adventures from cinema’s most eccentric secret agent.
The comedian was one of the guests on “Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party” and casually revealed that another installment of the comedy-spy franchise he created, wrote, and starred in is on the way.
In a clip shared on Instagram by the host, Myers was asked by a fan whether there would be another Austin Powers movie. He simply answered yes, without providing any further details about the production.
The franchise debuted in 1997 with “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery”, with Myers starring as both the British super-spy and his arch-enemy, the supervillain Dr. Evil.
After the moderate success of the first film, “The Spy Who Shagged Me”, released in 1999, grossed more than $300 million at the box office. The same achievement was matched by the third film, “Goldmember”, released in 2002.
In the comments section of the post, Austin Powers fans celebrated the news. “I’ve been waiting for the return of my Mini-Me for a long time,” wrote one fan.
“Please don’t play with my feelings, Mr. Austin Powers!” pleaded another.
“The world is healing!” joked a third.
