Overview
- Myers told reporters on the Focker-in-Law red carpet and to industry outlets on Nov. 12–13 that he is actively writing the screenplay for a fourth Austin Powers film.
- He declined to reveal plot, casting, production timing, or a release plan and said he was “told not to tease,” while also saying there is a strong chance Dr. Evil will appear.
- No studio has officially greenlit production or announced a start date, so active scripting does not yet guarantee the film will be made.
- Myers’ near-term commitments to Shrek 5 (reported for June 30, 2027) and a Donkey spinoff (reported for 2028) could affect scheduling and resources for any Austin Powers production.
- The cast reunited earlier this year in a Verizon commercial and the franchise’s last film was released in 2002, so next steps to watch are a studio green light, official casting, and a production schedule.
