Austin was fucking anything with a government ID and a pulse. Our concepts of sexuality mean nothing to him. He's beyond us.

Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.

YEAH BABY!
Getting 'Alucard from Hellsing Abridged' vibes.
"Oh shit, is that Betty?"
Could work in that while many things have continued to improve since the 90s, people also somehow seem more buttoned down and repressed than ever. Except that Mike Myers is a billion years old now and it’d be gross having him creep around younger people.
I find it funny that this post thinks Austin Powers, a man shagging his way through clubs in 1969, doesn't understand bisexuality.
Realistically this can never happen because as soon as there's an announcement AP is going to have a trans scene, Its going to get dragged in every conservative group until the public opinion is that its gonna flop, regardless of content. Unfortunate cause it could be hilarious
As much as I’d like to see a good sequel to Austin Powers, I kinda feel like the posters are forgetting about The Love Guru in hoping for a progressive, non-tone deaf story. 😬
That movie is twenty years old, fam.
Based on the Pentaverate... No, he's too old to pull it off.
Pentaverate was disappointing.
Maybe it was. I didn't manage to get to the end to find out.
Is it tone deaf to think that a character representing the classic womanizer would be accepting of trans people?
Austin Powers is spoofing the on screen spy characters of the 60s, which attempted to appeal to a very much cis heterosexual fantasy, which generally would not include trans people.
I saw Austin powers as a kid and i always thought he was gay, apparently no amount of him hitting on women made me question it, it just the way he appeared to me.
He is/was extremely camp. It's now strongly associated with being gay, but wasn't always. Austin Powers somehow managed to pull off macho-camp extremely well.
