That’s not great news for humanity. But you know who else it’s not good for? A supervillain who wants to take full responsibility for destroying the world on his own terms.

In General Motors’ 2022 Super Bowl ad, Mike Myers reprises his role as the Austin Powers villain Dr. Evil. Myers is joined by his co-stars from those films, including Rob Lowe as Number Two, Seth Green as Scott Evil and Mindy Sterling as Frau Farbissina.
