A hit film from the 90s and noughties is about to get revived after 24 years. <\/p>\n
Austin Powers, the comedy spy franchise that has given us three flicks, plenty of big belly laughs and memorable characters, is finally getting a fourth instalment. <\/p>\n
The news was confirmed by star and creator Mike Myers (who plays lead Austin Powers), who offered up the confirmation of another sequel, but with no further details. <\/p>\n
While attending Trevor Noah\u2019s World Cup Watch Party this week, the actor was asked the big question by a bold fan. <\/p>\n
\u201cAre we ever going to see an Austin Powers 4?\u201d they quizzed. <\/p>\n
Myers didn\u2019t need any time at all to respond, swiftly replying: \u201cyes\u201d to the fan. <\/p>\n
But that\u2019s all the details fans are getting for now, with the actor avoiding elaborating any more – including what the new flick will be about and which A-listers might be signing up as a cameo. <\/p>\n
Austin Powers is a much-loved spoof of classic spy movies centring on a highly-sexed, cryogenically frozen 1960s secret agent who wakes up in modern times. <\/p>\n
We were first introduced to the franchise in 1997 with the release of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Two years later, in 1999, Myers returned with Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and in 2002, we were given Austin Powers in Goldmember.<\/p>\n
In the trilogy, comedy mastermind Myers famously plays multiple roles, including the velvet-suited hero and his bald, pinky-biting nemesis, Dr. Evil. He also transforms into characters Goldmember and Fat Bastard. <\/p>\n
The hilarious franchise boasts wild A-list cameos, including appearances by Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Britney Spears, and Beyonc\u00e9. <\/p>\n
Over at the box office, the three films have raked in an impressive $US 676 million combined and have snagged over 20 awards, including an Oscar nomination for best make-up as well as a Grammy win for Madonna\u2019s title track for Beautiful Stranger – a song penned for the second film in the franchise. <\/p>\n
The news of a fourth film comes 24 years after the third flick hit cinemas. <\/p>\n
Since it\u2019s release, Myers has been hinting that the secret agent may return. <\/p>\n
