The Austin Powers crew has reunited once again!

Mike Myers, 63, who plays four characters in the film franchise, reprised his role as the iconic Dr. Evil for a Verizon advertisement alongside his former co-stars Seth Green, Rob Lowe and Mindy Sterling.

The actor posed for a selfie in Dr. Evil's signature gray outfit, while holding his pinky up to his lips. Lowe, who was cast as Young Number Two, was seen donning his eye patch, while Sterling was sporting Frau Farbissina's slicked-back hairdo and a corporate-style suit.

Green, who played Seth Evil, was dressed in a vibrant red shirt in the picture, which was uploaded on Myers' Instagram on Tuesday, June 23.

"Had a delightfully EVIL time getting this band back together! We'll have to do it again soon mwah-hah-hah-hah #austinpowers," Myers, who plays both Dr. Evil and Austin Powers, captioned the image.

Last week, Verizon uploaded an Instagram video of them returning to their roles, almost as if no time had passed.

Set in Dr. Evil's secret volcanic lair "somewhere outside Las Vegas," the advertisement saw the comedic villain unveil his "newest evil organization," which he called "Menance Mobile."

He planned to make the most confusing pricing and plans "of all time," and Young Number Two described it as "genius."

But Scott Evil said the strategy "sucks," adding: "Yeah, this isn't evil, this is just typical phone company stuff."

Dr. Evil then said: "Humma humma what?" While Scott Evil responded, "It's literally what everyone hates."

"No, Scott, you're literally what everyone hates," Myers' character replied. "Hate the game, not the player. Haters gonna hate."

Scott Evil said that they are all switching to Verizon and Dr. Evil then asked for Frau Farbissina's opinion.

"Yes doctor, I get cashback every month," she said, before famously making Dr. Evil jump out of his skin by shouting: "Bring in the Verizon dollars for everyone!"

The advertisement ended with everyone, apart from Dr. Evil, choosing Verizon.

"So you're all choosing Verizon? That's cool," he said. "Totes Totes ma goats, all good. Just one more thing … this organization does not tolerate traitors! Prepare to die!"

Dr. Evil then pushed a button that read "Kill them all," before saying: "Can you hear me now? Mwha-ha-ha."

Myers appeared on comedian Trevor Noah's FIFA World Cup livestream watch party for the France vs. Senegal match on Tuesday, June 16, alongside his son Spike, 14.

There, he was asked by Noah: "Are we ever going to see an Austin Powers 4?" "Yes," Myers responded immediately. "Wow. That was a quick yes," Noah remarked.

Roughly 10 minutes later, Noah noted that another user watching his livestream of the World Cup match wrote that Myers' son Spike "could play the next Austin Powers Jr."

"That could be cool," Noah said. "Yeah, mini Austin," Spike responded. "I saw someone on Reddit, there was a photo of me, one time I looked, and it was like 'Yeah, it seems Mike has his own mini-me now.' I laughed, it was funny."
