Жүжигчин зохиол дээрээ одоо ажиллаж байгаа ч төслийн дэлгэрэнгүйг нууцалж буйгаа хэлжээ.
Олон жилийн таамаглалыг эцэслэн Майк Майерс Austin Powers-ийн дөрөвдүгээр киноны зохиолыг бичиж байгаагаа баталлаа. Тэрээр The Hollywood Reporter-т өгсөн ярилцлагадаа зохиол дээрээ ажиллахад таатай байгаа ч дүр нь нууц ажилтан учраас дэлгэрэнгүй мэдээлэл өгөх боломжгүй гэжээ.
Austin Powers цуврал 1997 онд Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery киногоор эхэлж, 1999 онд Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, 2002 онд Austin Powers in Goldmember бүтээлээр үргэлжилсэн. Майерс 2019 онд дөрөв дэх кино Dr. Evil-ийн өнцгөөс өгүүлэгдэх магадлалтай гэж хэлсэн ч тухайн үед төслийн талаар баталж, үгүйсгээгүй юм.
Тэрээр 2024 онд цувралд өгүүлэх өөр түүх бий эсэхэд “Мэдээж” гэж хариулсан ч киноны төслийн оршин байгаа эсэхийг батлаагүй. Мөн энэ оны эхээр Verizon-ийн сурталчилгаанд Dr. Evil-ийн дүрээ дахин бүтээжээ.
Майерс Shrek 5 кинонд эргэн тоглох бөгөөд цувралыг цааш үргэлжлүүлэх хүсэлтэйгээ илэрхийлсэн байна. Харин Shrek-ийн илжиг Donkey-ийн тухай спин-оффт оролцох эсэхээ мэдэхгүй байгаагаа хэлжээ; уг бүтээлийг Эдди Мерфигийн дүрийн үүслийг өгүүлэх өмнөх үйл явдал гэж тодорхойлсон байна.

After years of speculation, Mike Myers has confirmed he’s writing a fourth Austin Powers movie.
The Austin Powers franchise began in 1997 with Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and went on to produce 1999’s Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and 2002’s Austin Powers in Goldmember.
The 61-year-old actor has admitted he’s currently working on a screenplay, but refused to be drawn on the details.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “Yes, we are. I’m writing it right now; I’m having a great time. I’m very, very secretive. He’s a secret agent, so I can’t really say too much.”
As long ago as 2019, the actor hinted at a potential plot for a fourth movie.
He told Entertainment Weekly: “It’s likely to be from Dr. Evil’s point of view. But again I can neither confirm nor deny such existence. That’s all I’m going to say.”
Myers reprised the role of Dr Evil from the films for a Verizon commercial earlier this year.
Back in 2024, he was asked about a fourth Austin Powers film by Entertainment Tonight and teased he could “neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of such a project”.
But, asked if there were more stories to be told in the franchise, he added: “Absolutely!”
Mike is returning to another beloved role with Shrek 5, and he’s hoping to keep making the animated stories for years to come.
Asked about continuing the franchise, he said: “I’d love to. It’s so much fun. It’s so well written. The filmmakers are so lovely and they’re so nice to me and I love playing the character. I love the messages in there and Cameron [Diaz]’s fantastic and Eddie [Murphy]’s a genius.”
The former Saturday Night Live star is unsure whether he will be voicing the ogre in the upcoming spin-off movie about Shrek’s sidekick Donkey, which has been described as a prequel telling the origin story of Eddie Murphy’s character.

He said: “I wish Donkey lived in my house! I love that character so much.“I don’t think I’m in it. I might be. I’m not sure, but it’s long overdue. That character is one of my favourite characters of all time, and Eddie’s so great in it. I’m surprised it hasn’t come sooner, but I’ll be the first in line to see it. I love that guy.
“Honest to God, I have a cat named Pickles, and I love that cat as much as I love Donkey.”
