“Ladies and gentleman, our takeover of General Motors is complete,” he announces.

Scott reveals that he’s had a baby boy and Dr Evil declares: “I shall name him… Baby Me!"

However, Scott insists the infant's name is Kyle.

Dr Evil then starts bopping around as Scott shouts: “You act like a child!”

“You can’t push my buttons any more!” he shrieks.

Myers played the iconic character in Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery in 1997 and reprised the role in The Spy Who Shagged Me two years later.

He returned three years later in Austin Powers In Goldmember.

Fans were thrilled to see the return of the characters and the advert made many call for another film in the series.

One fan tweeted: “Oh good lord, this made me so happy. Please let Austin Powers 4 happen.”
