That new Verizon ad might not be the last we see of Austin Powers.

Asked by a fan today on Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party whether there would be an Austin Powers 4, Mike Myers responded simply, “yes.” He did not elaborate further.

Myers has long said he’d be interested in another sequel, but been noncommittal about whether it would actually happen. He has said he’d like such a film to focus heavily on Dr. Evil.

Franchise director Jay Roach has said, “It’s always up to Mike. I think there’s a real possibility. We always just said if we have the hook, and the new predicament, and the new situation. We got pretty far with Beyoncé and Michael Caine, and the Dr. Evil submarine on the last one. We have to top that; we can’t just come back and just do it to do it. So, if Mike finds that, I’m there.”
