With so many television and movie reboots being made over the last few years, fans of just about every franchise have wondered when their favorites would be brought back. Of course, not every franchise is worthy of a full reboot, which is why in recent years many have turned to television commercials to give fans a taste of nostalgia. With the Super Bowl coming up, many actors are once again getting into familiar costumes for a temporary reboot. This year will see the return of Mike Myers and Rob Lowe as their beloved ‘Austin Powers’ characters.
It was announced recently that General Motors would be running an ad during the Super Bowl that would see Mike Myers and Rob Lowe reunite as their characters from the ‘Austin Powers’ franchise. According to Adweek, the two will be joined by Seth Green and Mindy Sterling in the GM ad as well.
It has been 20 years since the last installment of ‘Austin Powers’ and while fans have been asking for a reboot for years, this may be the closest they will get.
The advertisement reboot was teased on social media by Rob Lowe, before GM shared the commercial on the own social media page. This is not the first time either star has been featured in a Super Bowl commercial. Maybe this will inspire them to do more Austin Powers content in the future.
