Breaking news, folks, and by breaking news, I mean something that’s been broken for years, but we’re going to pretend it’s new and exciting anyway 🤩. Mike Myers, the guy who’s been living off the fumes of his 90s and early 2000s fame, has announced that there might, just might, be a fourth Austin Powers movie 🎥. I know, I know, you’re all on the edge of your seats, wondering if Austin Powers will once again don his velvet suit and shout “Yeah, baby, yeah!” 🤣.
Because, you know, the world was just missing a fourth installment of a franchise that should have stopped at two, or maybe even one 🤦♂️. I mean, who doesn’t want to see Mike Myers reprise his role as a bumbling spy who’s still stuck in the 60s, but also somehow relevant in the 2020s? It’s not like we’ve seen that same character done to death already 🙄. And let’s be real, the Verizon ad that just came out, featuring Myers as Doctor Evil, was just a tease, a tantalizing taste of what’s to come… or not 🤔.
Myers gave this earth-shattering announcement to Trevor Noah on his World Cup Watch Party, because, you know, that’s the perfect platform to announce a new movie 🏆. And by “succinct and confident answer,” I mean he just said “yes” and left everyone wondering what that even means 🤷♂️. Is it a yes, as in, “yes, I’m definitely making another Austin Powers movie”? Or is it a yes, as in, “yes, I’m still alive and breathing, but only just barely”? 🤣
For those who may have forgotten, Mike Myers created, wrote, and starred in the first Austin Powers movie back in 1997, and it was a moderate success 📈. But then the sequel came out in 1999, and it was a massive hit, mostly because everyone quoted the same five lines from the movie for years on end 📢. And then, because why not, they made a third one in 2002, which was less well-received, but still made a ton of money 💸. After that, Myers seemed to disappear from the comedy scene, only to resurface with the occasional flop, like The Love Guru 🕉️.
But now, it seems, he’s back, and he’s bringing Austin Powers with him 🎉. Or, at the very least, he’s bringing Doctor Evil back, which is basically the same thing, right? 👀. So, get ready for more of the same old jokes, the same old characters, and the same old Mike Myers antics 🤪. It’s going to be a wild ride, folks, and by “wild ride,” I mean a slow and painful slog through a franchise that should have been left to die 🚮.

But hey, at least it’ll be good for a laugh, right? 😂. So, go ahead and get your Austin Powers merchandise ready, because it’s time to party like it’s 1999 🎉. Yeah, baby, yeah! 🤣
