Mike Myers is Back for Austin Powers 4
While a fourth Austin Powers film had been long-discussed, it seemed star Myers wasn’t quite ready to reprise the character. Director Jay Roach previously told Movieline he was waiting for the day Myers was a go — and the time may be now for a new sequel to move forward.
Confirming that Myers “just closed his deal to return to the role,” Hitfix reports that Austin Powers 4 is officially on. No further details are available regarding a director or plot, but Roach recently filmed Game Change for HBO and was set to begin filming the political comedy Southern Rivals, with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, this fall.
