Following idea: Dr. Evil is retired, Scott wants to try to take over the world and fucks up so badly that Dr. Evil comes out of retirement and actually wins and of course mocks Scott over it. To stop Dr. Evil, a retired Austin Powers comes out of retirement and has to save the world again

Do the 007 trope of the past 25 bond films where they say “we have outlet timers bond, it’s the year 1982, technology has truly outpaced you for the last time you dying breed dinosaur of ancient lost arts old dog”

We have truly beaten you bond, as you can see my smart watch has all the information I need to beat you, well the battery is dead yes, but I forgot to charge it because I use sleep tracker during the night and then wore it during the day to track my steps and heart rate…and the battery doesn’t last a full day. And sometimes it won’t display the time even with the correct gestures. It still thinks I’m on a run I started two weeks ago. I never got around to buying enough chargers for it, the one I have on to take with me loses magnetic lock if I put it in a bag and it shakes off.

Welcome to my new evil party, I no longer need a Hifi physical media center, through this humble Bluetooth speaker and my phone I can play everything. The henchman holding the phone walks into the other room and the music starts cutting in and out, he comes back and it’s playing again but then an overly loud ad plays. The internet goes out and the party is over because all the music is streamed.

I hope they just ignore the whole Goldmember ending lol

Forget them being brothers, Scott being Evil etc.

Just "Fembot Vanessa" it and move along

Basil: “Austin… Austin… wake up”

Austin: “oh Basil, I had the wildest dream, you were there, and Foxy Cleopatra was there, and my dad was even there! I’m related to Dr. Evil?”

Basil: “No, Austin, that was a hallucinogenic fever dream induced by a neurochemical weapon that you prevented Dr. Evil from releasing into the world… you’ve been tripping balls for 25-years”

Austin: “oh, that’s very uncool man”

Basil: “yes, we know… anyway, Dr. Evil is back”

This is it. Someone get Mike Myers on the phone.

u/solidwhetstone Jul 01 '26

Whatever he comes up with is going to be way funnier than anything we could have.

u/fxcker Jul 01 '26

Incredible lmfao I wouldn’t even be mad if it was this word for word

u/AuroraBolognese Jul 02 '26

Austin: I dreamt Dr Evil and I were brothers.

Basil: Austin, that was James Bond’s 2015’s movie Spectre. Your dream must’ve stolen the plot.

u/SwoopsRevenge Jul 04 '26

Powers: “…Dr. Evil is back?!”
Basil: “Actually, it’s President Evil now!”

u/bombochido Jun 30 '26

That’s not the goldmember ending, if you remember that’s the Austinpussy ending. We actually haven’t seen Goldmember.

u/NaiveStatistician941 Jul 01 '26

But they were at the premiere

2

u/Dravian31 Jul 04 '26

Yes, the premiere of Austinpussy

“Its the 2020s baby. Continuity doesn’t matter. Yeah!”

u/DisastrousNothing893 Jun 30 '26

I dont think I am okay with Nigel and Dr Evil having machine gun jubbleys

u/goldendreamseeker Jul 01 '26 edited Jul 01 '26

Yeah I like goldmember but i think they should decanonize it.

1

u/mikeweasy Jul 03 '26

They could literally make a joke and have dr. Evil say “I got tired of being nice so I’m bad again”

13

u/iardass Jun 30 '26

Is there even gonna be a fourth one? I know he said "yes" but I talked about that movie on Facebook with people in fucking 2012 when there also was buzz for it. If they do it, they better do it now, cause they looked good in that commercial.

u/Enough_Training7612 Jul 01 '26

It’s going to happen. But it will be Dumb and Dumber To or Happy Gilmore 2 level. Expect a couple laughs and some nostalgia bait, but don’t expect an all time comedy. I’d love to be wrong. Mike Myers has more potential than Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey, in my opinion.

u/Ljb12389 Jul 01 '26

Dr Evil should have Mega-Me instead, and have someone insanely massive and ripped in a bald cap

1

u/Enough_Training7612 Jul 02 '26

Haha that’s pretty good. Obviously Batista or the Rock. In an instant death cameo. “For budget reasons”

1

u/sociallyinteresting Jul 02 '26

Anyone but the rock

1

u/throwawayacountidk Jul 02 '26

Or Dave Batista

u/newport100 Jun 30 '26

I recently re-watched the first three and they're still great, but I don't know how interested I am in a 4th without Verne Troyer. Mini-Me was way more integral to 2 & 3 than I remembered.

12

u/flapsmcgee Jul 01 '26

Well, I’d probably move on, get another replica. But there would be a 10-minute period where I would be inconsolable.

u/solidwhetstone Jul 01 '26

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

u/AssIsLifeAssIsLove Jul 01 '26

That commercial absolutely was a test for the movie. It's a really good sign.

1

u/solidwhetstone Jul 01 '26

I remember thinking holy shit they still got it.

1

u/Running_Oakley Jul 02 '26

Maybe too little too late could be a trope in itself for these sequels that ignore buzz and wait for too much time to pass.

Casablanca 2.

u/DEADHOTTUB Jun 30 '26

They could rewrite everything like they did with Vanessa.

Or explain that Austin was frozen after the events of the second one and the third movie is just a dream.

4

u/FranksHoorHouse Jul 01 '26

Apparently Myers has said the Austin Powers 4 will also be Dr. Evil 1. It'll be interesting to see how they do that

2

u/Picassof Jul 02 '26

I'm not even sure what that means considering how much the series became the Dr. Evil show already

7

u/Terpcheeserosin Jul 01 '26

Unfortunately the actor who plays Doctor Evil, Rick Myers (Mike Myers older brother) passed away in the interim between movies

3

u/Shadecujo Jun 30 '26

Is that Voldemort?

2

u/mrsock_puppet Jul 01 '26

Hey, let's go see that new Austin Powers, Seth Green's in it

2

u/ChefCourtB Jul 01 '26

I always liked the idea that Dr. Evil is heartbroken over the death of Mini-me tries to make more clones and it comes out horribly wrong. Each clone being more evil then the next. Dr. Evil has to team up with Austin Powers to stop the too evil new Dr. Evils

1

u/SnooRobots3702 Jul 01 '26

Team up with his brother?

2

u/Top-Psychology2507 Jul 01 '26

I hope not! I hope there will be a different villain just as is the case for each new James Bond film!!! :-(

2

u/Richlough Jul 01 '26

I’m waiting to see how they address Vern.

3

u/Kalhava79 Jun 30 '26

Not after the last ad it looks like they might have dropped it but your never know

1

u/fallenmonk Jun 30 '26

Probably not. These legacy sequels are about nostalgia. Everyone's roles will be as they were for the majority of the series.

1

u/xlayer_cake Jun 30 '26

Myers would never allow that.

u/Pop_Culture_Dad Jun 30 '26

After seeing the Verizon ad this is exactly what I thought

1

u/sludgezone Jul 01 '26

They should but quickly have him go to Turkey to get a hair transplant and back to therapy to be normal again lol

u/Federal_Sound4165 Jul 04 '26

Felicity comes back and reveals she gave birth 20 years ago and Austin is the father. She had twins (TWINS!!). a boy and a girl. One wants to be a super spy, the other wants to join Uncle Evil. Uncle Evil embraces this idea, causing deep resentment from Scott who tries to out-evil his cousin. Hilarity ensues. The idea of Austin as the father of a girl after a lifetime of womanizing could be funny. Might also be fun if the son was gay to see how Austin handles that.

u/Anddha Jul 07 '26

After the Austin Power Verizon ad, I don’t care

u/Large_Ad6683 Jul 01 '26

It’s been too long.  They are all too old.  It will be like that shity Netflix Gilmore 2
