There’s been plenty of whispers of a new Austin Powers movie over the years, but””despite the fact that it looked like we’d be getting the movies in bulk for years to come much like the Saw and Fast and Furious franchises””they just kind of ended after 2002’s Goldmember.

Yes, it’s been almost a decade since the last installment, but it would appear that the time has come for Austin Powers 4 to become a reality. HitFix is reporting that Mike Myers has officially signed on to return to the role(s) for a fourth time, elevating the project from a rumor (that some wanted to see come true and others very much did not want to see come true) to a reality.
