Mike Myers Is Now Set for Austin Powers 4!

Mike Myers has officially agreed to reprise his iconic swinging super agent in Austin Powers 4. No other details have been revealed about the project at this time.

This news comes from Hitfix, who have no idea who is directing this sequel. Jay Roach, who directed the first three installments, is expected to return, but its to early to make that an official call just yet.

Austin Powers 4 will come more than a full decade since the last movie, Austin Powers in Goldmember, which hit theaters in 2002. The character has a whole new time period to react to now.

It isn't known when the film will go into production, but its likely that we won't see Austin Powers 4 until, at the very earliest, 2013.

Mike Myers Is Writing Austin Powers 4

When we heard of Austin Powers, we cannot think of anyone but Mike Myers. That is the reason perhaps why he decided to write the script for the 4th installment of the successful comedy film, Austin Powers.

The site is reporting that he's co-writing with Mike McCullers, who he collaborated with on Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and Austin Powers in Goldmember. Apparently, New Line Cinema is eager for another Powers film as well, although a deal isn't in place as of now.

It is said that this fourth film will focus of Myers' Dr. Evil and the relationship with his son, Scott Evil, which was played by Seth Green in all three films. "It's very personal with a father and son theme loosely based on his own life," an insider told the site.

We'll have more on this new film as soon as more information arrives.
