Would it be a money grab? Probably.

Were the other movies good? Not really.

Do I actively love them? Yes.

Would I watch this? 100%.

I miss this kind of movie with really stupid humor that knows it's really stupid. They don't seem to make many of them anymore... probably because they think they won't sell.

Does there have to be?

I'm not watching an ad or a Twitter post to get a read on this but does anyone actually want this? I watched the first one many times because I was 12 and then grew out of it by the sequel. A lot of this late 90s/early 00s comedy seems cringe at best and problematic at worst and now needs to compete with infinite sophomoric YouTube videos.

Not to mention, the Bond franchise got way serious in response to Austin Powers, and the 60s spy he was parodying doesn't seem nearly as culturally relevant to the kids this would need to appeal to to be successful.

... Or is this pure cash grab?

I had always wondered if we'd get one, the end of Goldmember pretty strongly implies there would be another with Scotty as the bad guy. Maybe it'll be a riff on Thunderball.

Can we let things be?

There could be something there, if they tread new ground. Instead of Austin's semi-misogynistic 60s free-love attitude being out of step with modern 90s sensibilities, you could have the over the top action tropes of the 90s come into conflict with gritty, realistic action sequences that have become popular in modern spy thrillers. Pair him up with a Daniel Craig/Jason Borne style spy; one of them is throat punching assassins in desperate, close combat fight scenes while the other is running casually through gunfire, judo-chopping goons. Might be fun.

Wonder if plans on playing and aging spy who getting to old for the game or something.

Shagdalic baby

Did he say: "There'll be an Austin Powers 4. Oh yes, there will be an Austin Powers 4?"

There are 3? I would've sworn there were two, and I really only remember the first one.

Please don't do fat bastard again.

FEMBOTS!

Autism Powers 4

I hope Christian Slater brings Austin his Orange sherbet this time.

YEAH BABY.

You can’t do a new Austin powers without Verne Troyer. Mini me is too iconic, let’s remember his legacy
