Mike Myers 'might' turn up in the Donkey spin-off, and says he's writing Austin Powers 4 right now
By Fuzzy Mushroom · Published
At the Focker-in-Law premiere, Mike Myers told The Hollywood Reporter he doesn't think he's in Eddie Murphy's Donkey prequel (due 30 June 2028) but 'might be', calling the film 'long overdue'. Better still, he confirmed he's writing a fourth Austin Powers film, the first since Austin Powers in Goldmember in 2002, saying 'I'm having a great time' but he's been told not to tease anything. Shrek 5 arrives first, next summer.
Groovy or 24 years too late: do you actually want another Austin Powers?
