AceShowbiz - Mike Myers has reprised his iconic role as Dr. Evil in a fresh Verizon commercial, Superherohype reports. The ad introduces a new wireless service named Menace Mobile, with the character humorously pitching its complex pricing structure.
Aol also detailed that alongside Mike Myers, several other actors from the Austin Powers franchise return to their classic roles in the spot. Seth Green appears as Scott Evil, Rob Lowe reprises Number Two, and Mindy Sterling returns as Frau Farbissina. The commercial’s comedic twist reveals that Dr. Evil’s scheme falls apart when his associates disclose they have switched to Verizon’s straightforward Simplicity Plan, which removes activation and upgrade fees. Comingsoon confirms this advertising campaign is part of a larger Verizon marketing effort that also features the cast of Yo Soy Betty, la Fea.
