After 24 years of speculation, rumors, and isolated comments, Mike Myers has officially confirmed that a fourth Austin Powers film is coming. The long-awaited news came during a special broadcast hosted by Trevor Noah as part of the 2026 World Cup festivities.

When asked directly by an audience member if Austin Powers 4 would happen, Myers simply responded, "Yes." This brief but definitive answer has ignited excitement among millions of fans worldwide who have hoped for the return of the eccentric British spy since "Austin Powers in Goldmember" was released in 2002.

For over two decades, the possibility of a new film seemed to hinge on Myers' creative will. He had previously expressed interest in revisiting the characters that propelled his international career. The franchise's success turned Austin Powers into a cultural phenomenon, blending absurd humor, spy-film satire, and unforgettable characters into a global comedy hit. Figures like Dr. Evil, also played by Myers, became pop culture icons.

Myers had previously hinted that a continuation could delve deeper into the villain's backstory, fueling fan expectations without an official announcement. The situation began to shift as individuals connected to the production expressed their willingness to participate. Director Jay Roach, who helmed the previous films, stated in 2020 that the project depended on Myers' decision, adding, "I'll always be in for anything he wants to do." His words signaled full support for any initiative to revive the franchise.

Yes.
