What happened to 4?

Goldmember sucked so hard the franchise is over

If The Love Guru didn’t kill it, the death of Verne Troyer definitely did.

No need for it, probably.

I enjoyed the Austin Powers movies, but by Goldmember it had gotten a bit tired. As funny as the first two were, it was just reusing the same jokes. The second one, my favourite, was taking the same jokes from the first one but twisted them in a way that the catchphrases were still funny. (Dr. Evil still getting the million/billion mixed up, for example.) By the third though, these jokes were tired. A fourth one it would be even worse.

Also, it's been so long since the third one, how well would it go over with modern fans? Everything date eventually. Probably best just leave it now.

Surprised they never made another one after Goldmember (which was a box office success, despite poor reviews). Has anyone ever asked any of the film’s cast about why there was never another Powers’ film?

At this point though, I think it’s too late. Goldmember, the last one, was nearly 20 years ago. The actors have aged, the public has moved on. If there was a time for a sequel, then 2008 or so would have been it

100 snowflakes on Twitter are too fragile for this series. They control everything now and would never allow a 4th funny movie to be made.
