Mike Myers hasn't been on our screens much over the past few years, but he's eyeing up some future projects. The Shrek and Austin Powers star recently made a cameo in the Michael Jackson movie Michael. When promoting the film, he was asked what project he'd like to do next – and he had the perfect answer.
"I've never done a horror movie," Myers replied to Lionsgate Horror. "And my name is Michael Myers so it's a little weird that I have thus far avoided it." Of course, Michael Myers is the serial killer in the Halloween franchise and has appeared in all of the spin-offs. He's been played by several actors over the years too so the Austin Powers star could even end up behind the mask himself.
As for a full-on horror movie, we'd love to see what Myers would bring to that. While he's a great comedian, we've had glimpses of his dramatic acting chops too in movies like Terminal and his cameo in Inglourious Basterds. He also dipped his toe in horror comedy in the 1993 movie So I Married an Axe Murderer where he played a man who suspected his girlfriend of being a serial killer.
Next up for Myers is Shrek 5, which has been confirmed for 2027. The original cast are all coming back for that, including Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, alongside newcomer Zendaya. Though, Antonio Banderas's Puss in Boots isn't confirmed yet.
