Where are we? Austin Powers 4 ? This is the question that torments Mike Myers fans. Difficult to know if the project is still current, but the actor often returns to the subject Austin Powers 4.
It’s what Austin Powers ?
In 1997, the actor and humorist Mike Myers has the excellent idea of offering a totally eccentric parody of 007. He imagines Austin Powersa fashion photographer by day and a secret agent by night. An eccentric and caricatured British spy, Austin Powers is an offbeat playboy, known for his flamboyant style, colorful costumes, and cult one-liners. The saga Austin Powers is a mix of absurd comedy, satire and references to culture of the 1960s and 1970s. They are strongly inspired by the films of James Bondwhile adding a touch of kitsch, sexual humor and self-deprecation. The series also revolves around the confrontation between Austin Powers and his nemesis, the Dr. Evil, played by Seth Green.
From 1997 to 2002, three films were releasedall made by Jay Roach. In total, the trilogy also grossed over $678 million of box office revenue. However, despite its status as a cult trilogy, its largely positive critical feedback and a far from shameful box office score, no fourth part has yet seen the light of day.
Soon a Austin Powers 4 ?
Currently, Hollywood particularly appreciates recycling. Many iconic cult sagas from the 1980s are gradually returning to cinemas and platforms. Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Blade Runner 2049, Dune, The Exorcist, Halloweenthe examples are legion. But then, what about Austin Powers ? For several years, Mike Myers is rather absent from cinema and television screens. He was in the casting of Terminal (2018), Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) and Amsterdam (2022), but never in a transcendent role for the actor. Soon, he will make his comeback in the shoes of Shrek on the occasion of the release of fifth part. But at 61 answouldn’t this be a good time to give Austin Powers one last lap?
Since the release of Austin Powers 3 in 2002, rumors concerning a fourth part circulated regularly. Mike Myers, the lead actor and creator of the series, has repeatedly expressed interest in reprising the role. In 2011, there were discussions about the possibility of a new film, and in 2018, Myers confirmed the existence of a script for Austin Powers 4. However, in 2022 he stated that he could not “neither confirm nor deny” the existence of such a project. To date, no concrete production details or release date for a fourth film have been officially announced.
According to recent rumors, notably reported by ScreenRantit is rumored that the script of Austin Powers 4 could mainly focus on Dr Evil. Which would imply a return of Seth Green in the role of the character. The plot of this possible script would tell how Dr. Evil would travel back in time to get rid of Austin Powers once and for all. But for now, unfortunately there is nothing official…
