A future “Austin Powers” film sounds groovy to actor Mike Myers.
Myers, who starred as the titular character in the comedy franchise’s three movies, weighed in on the possibility of reprising his iconic role during an interview with Jimmy Fallon on Friday.
“The Tonight Show” host asked Myers — who produced and wrote the films, which took in over $676 million at the box office — if he’d ever play the British spy again, prompting the audience to break into cheers.
“I don’t have anything to announce. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of such a project,” Myers said.
“Yeah, I would love to do it, of course. It’s fun,” he added.
Fallon also asked about a visit that Myers took to London’s Buckingham Palace, which featured a surprise tie-in with “Austin Powers.”
Myers — whose parents are from Liverpool, England — said he and a friend were watching the changing of the guard from inside the palace gates when a military band broke out into the franchise’s theme, “Soul Bossa Nova” by Quincy Jones.
Responding to Fallon, Myers said that one of the guards — who are “not supposed to talk” — told him, “I bet you’ve heard this song before!”
