Mike Myers says 'yes' to Austin Powers 4 as James Bond stalls

Mike Myers answered 'yes' when asked about Austin Powers 4 during an appearance on Trevor Noah's World Cup Watch Party Live, even popping a gummy as he replied.

The piece also notes that Myers, Seth Green, Rob Lowe and Mindy Sterling "all still have the juice," and that Dr.

Evil has popped up in commercials recently, including a Verizon spot timed to the World Cup. The wider landscape complicates a straightforward parody: the James Bond franchise is in development limbo after Amazon acquired the rights and hired Denis Villeneuve to helm the next untitled installment, and there has been little news since.
