Austin Powers might be making a comeback, baby. With the Shrek franchise wrapped (for now) and his Keith Moon biopic in development limbo, Mike Myers is looking for work—and it may involve resurrecting his shag-tastic British spy character for a fourth Austin Powers movie.
A report last Friday stated that the deal had been done and Myers would be set to write and star in Austin Powers 4. However, sources at New Line took a step back saying that no deal had been made, but an offer had been sent to the SNL alum.
Nine years have passed since the last Austin Powers movie and New Line has been eager to do another one, with negotiations ongoing for more than a year now. The snag has been working out terms of the deal with Myers.
The Austin Powers franchise has generated over $676 million worldwide with 1999’s The Spy Who Shagged Me being the most successful of the trio. It’s hard to gauge whether audiences would be up for a fourth Austin Powers adventure, so we’ll pose the question to you – do you want more Austin Powers and what should the movie be about?
