A Foxxy Cleopatra-themed spin-off would offer a chance to parody blaxploitation films in the same way Austin Powers parodied James Bond. The story could involve a now-older Foxxy (still played by Beyoncé) going back in time to the 70s in an attempt to stop her partner from being killed. She’d meet her younger self too, as well as Goldmember (but perhaps he’d look a lot different before he lost his genitals and his skin started peeling off).

The world is so wacky simply because this game have as many James Bond themes crammed into it as possible.

[[WMG: We might see a spin-off themed around Foxxy]]
Given that Mike Myers has cited parenthood as a reason why he hasn’t made another film, is it possible we could see a spin-off of the series that doesn’t involve any of his characters (or Mini-Me, due to his actor being deceased)?

[[WMG: Dr.Evil never really wanted to kill Austin and TakeOverTheWorld]]
While he obviously have means to do both, he decided to be IneffectualSympatheticVillain on purpose. Why? It's quite simple actually - while he have a lot of fun with planning another global domination scheme, or terrorizing World Leaders for fun an profit, the amount of paperwork after eventual conquest is both scary and boring hor him. This is why he needs to give Austin Powers chance to escape every time - Austin is essential for him having fun. He wants to be stoped, simply so he could begin again and have a chance to come up with another, evil plan. In another words, it was never about victory for him, simply because he knows that VictoryIsBoring.

[[WMG: Dr.Evil is a professional supervillain]]
He is just doing his job.

[[WMG: Entire series is just some game played by two brothers]]

to:

* Though this does raise the question of why they're shown having a casual conversation which has no allusions to their true fembot selves.




to:

* Getting married immediately after completing one mission together does seem to be rushing things a bit, so we probably can assume they got married two years later.







to:

* Alternate explanation; his mother was killed when he was just a baby and his adoptive parents didn;t provide the healthiset of upbringings, so the finger-sucking came from not being properly weaned off breastfeeding.




to:

* Kanye West and Mike Myers in that Hurricane Katrina PSA:
->'''Kanye:''' Yo Mike, can I hijack this thing for a well-meaning but awkwardly-articulated rant against George Bush that might hang an albatross around his critics necks?\\
'''Mike:''' HOW 'BOUT NO? YA CRAZY AMERICAN BASTARD!



** Don't you mean one million billion gajillion shabbetyboo-shabbetybah ether?




to:

** And of course Dr. Evil told Austin he should go back in time and save Felicity, which doesn't benefit him in the slightest.

[[WMG: Mike Myers won't be the next Austin Powers]]
Just like the Bond actors, Austin will be played by a new actor with plenty of ambiguity over whether they're the same person or just using the same codename.

Some contenders:
* Simon Bird
* Jack Whitehall
* Joey Batey (who mentions travelling with [[Series/TheWitcher a man who]] [[Creator/HenryCavill may or may not be James Bond]].
* Stephen Merchant (with Ricky Gervais as Dr. Evil)
* Tom Hiddleston

* They sensed a familiarity with the other and came to an unconscious agreement that they wouldn't try to kill each other. Unknowningly, the EvilPlan-scheming-and-stopping was an elaborate game they played with each other, like Cops and Robbers. This is why Austin Powers goes to places ''because'' they have traps and why Dr.Evil never kills him when he has the chance; if they acted otherwise, the game would be over. Sometimes Dr.Evil steps over the line (like with killing Felicity) and so Austin has to send him to the penalty box (i.e. jail), but this is because the Belgiums raised him to be evil.

* In the first and second movies, Scott often points out how impractical his father's methods are when it comes to being a villain. It's clear he'd be a very effective villain, certainly more than his father [[BrilliantButLazy if he were to put his mind to it.]] And the final scene of the third movie shows him fully embrace being a villain and swearing vengeance on Austin. Sooner or later, Scott will do what his father could not (or possibly would not do) and [[HeroKiller kill Austin Powers]].

* Austin of the present had a son with Foxy Cleopatra while Austin From Ten Minutes Ago had a son with Felicity. The two sons of Austin Powers will team up to avenge their father and put an end to Scott's schemes.

Vanessa really was a fembot the entire time, it's just that she was created by the Ministry of Defense with weapon systems that were deactivated after testing for being too conspicuous. Dr. Evil successfully got her with a virus at some point, however, so she went berserk at the start of The Spy Who Shagged Me.
