Overview
- Myers told reporters on Thursday that he is actively writing the screenplay and that he is enjoying the process, but he declined to reveal plot, cast, director, shooting schedule, or a release date.
- He told Deadline there is a “very big chance” Dr. Evil will appear and told Variety the film may emphasize a message of love, saying, “what the world needs now is love, sweet love.”
- The update comes from red-carpet interviews and trade outlets rather than a studio press release, and no official confirmation has yet been issued by New Line Cinema or other studios.
- Myers’s commitment to Shrek 5, which is scheduled for June 30, 2027, and DreamWorks’ announced Donkey spinoff could affect the Austin Powers timeline and rollout.
- The Austin Powers series last released a film in 2002, making any new entry a high-interest nostalgia project for fans and media as Myers leads early creative work.
