Mike Myers has finally given Austin Powers fans the answer they have been waiting more than two decades to hear by confirming a fourth film in the comedy spy franchise is on the way.
The comic and actor, 63, revealed the news during an appearance at Trevor Noah's World Cup Watch Party this week when he was asked directly by a fan whether Austin Powers 4 would ever happen.
Myers, who created and starred in the series as Austin Powers, Dr Evil, Fat Bastard and Goldmember, responded with a simple one-word confirmation.
Asked by a fan: "Are we ever going to see an Austin Powers 4?", he replied: "Yes".
The brief response immediately sparked excitement among fans of the "shagadelic" secret agent, although Myers declined to provide any further details about the project, including potential storylines, casting announcements or a release date.
