- Critic Christian Toto urged him to keep the film apolitical.

## Summary

Mike Myers has hinted that a possible fourth Austin Powers film could touch on ideas of love and fear, while keeping any political commentary unconfirmed. Speaking at the premiere of Focker-In-Law, he said audiences need more silliness and happiness, and suggested the film’s message could centre on love; his comments came after Democrats’ midterm election gains.

Myers has described himself as a progressive voter and has used satire to criticise political developments, but film critic Christian Toto said political themes would be a mistake for the sequel. He noted that the first three films were not political and argued that fans mainly want a funny comedy. A fourth film remains unconfirmed, and Myers said he was enjoying working on it.
