Dr. Evil (born Douglas Powers) is a fictional character, played by Mike Myers, in the Austin Powers film series. He is the chief villain of the movies, and Austin Powers' nemesis with aspirations of world domination. A parody of any number of James Bond villains, primarily Donald Pleasance's Ernst Stavro Blofeld of SPECTRE, he also bears a some resemblance in appearance and affect to the French philosopher Michel Foucault. Dr. Evil routinely hatches schemes to terrorize and take over the world, and is typically accompanied by his cat Mr. Bigglesworth and his side-kick Mini-Me.
On May 10 2007, Mike Myers announced that he is developing a 4th film in the Austin Powers universe; it will focus more on the character of Dr. Evil.
