Myers made his film debut when he and [[Dana Carvey]] adapted their "Wayne's World" ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' (SNL) sketches into the feature ''[[Wayne's World (film)|Wayne's World]]'' (1992). It was among the most successful films of the year and was followed in 1993 by ''[[Wayne's World 2]]''; Myers starred in ''[[So I Married an Axe Murderer]]'' the same year. He took a two-year hiatus from performing after the end of his time as an ''SNL'' regular.

Myers returned to acting with the film ''[[Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery]]'' (1997), followed by the sequels ''[[Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me]]'' (1999) and ''[[Austin Powers in Goldmember]]'' (2002). Myers played the title role ([[Austin Powers (character)|Austin Powers]]) and the villain (Dr. Evil) in all three films as well as a henchman ([[Fat Bastard]]) and another villain (Goldmember) in the sequels.

One of Myers's rare non-comedic roles came in the film ''[[54 (film)|54]]'' (1998), in which he portrayed [[Steve Rubell]], proprietor of New York City's famous 1970s disco nightclub [[Studio 54]]. The film was not critically or commercially successful, though Myers received some positive notice.<ref>{{cite news|last1=O'Sullivan|first1=Michael|title='54': Rise and Fall of a Disco Inferno|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/movies/reviews/54osullivan.htm|date=August 28, 1998|newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=IN '54,' MYERS WON'T SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/gossip/54-myers-won-set-record-straight-article-1.808414|last1=Rush|first1=George|last2=Molloy|first2=Joanna|last3=Baram|first3=Marcus|author4=K.

In June 2000, Myers was sued by [[Universal Pictures]] for {{USD}}3.8&nbsp;million for backing out of a contract to make a feature film based on his ''SNL'' character Dieter. Myers said he refused to honour the {{USD}}20&nbsp;million contract because he felt his script was not ready. Myers countersued and a settlement was reached after several months where Myers agreed to make another film with Universal. That film, ''[[The Cat in the Hat (film)|The Cat in the Hat]]'', was released in November 2003 and starred Myers as the title character.<ref>{{cite news|title=Myers settles Dieter dispute|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/875852.stm|website=[[BBC News]]|publisher=BBC|date=August 11, 2000|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Cosgrove-Mather|first1=Bootie|title=The Cat In The Hat Is Phat|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-cat-in-the-hat-is-phat/|website=[[CBS News]]|publisher=[[CBS]]|date=March 7, 2002|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Evans|first1=Bradford|title='Dieter': The Surprisingly Funny Mike Myers Movie That Never Was|url=http://www.vulture.com/2013/10/dieter-the-mike-myers-franchise-that-never-was.html|website=Vulture, LLC|date=October 9, 2013|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref> It received negative reviews and was unsuccessful at the box office.

In 2001, Myers provided the voice of [[Shrek (character)|Shrek]] in the [[Shrek|animated film of the same name]], having taken over the role after the originally planned voice actor [[Chris Farley]] died in December 1997 before recording all of his dialogue. He reprised this role in ''[[Shrek 4-D]]'' (a theme park ride) in 2003, ''[[Shrek 2]]'' (2004), ''[[Shrek the Third]]'' (2007), the Christmas and Halloween television specials ''[[Shrek the Halls]]'' (2007) and ''[[Scared Shrekless]]'' (2010), and ''[[Shrek Forever After]]'' (2010).

Myers received the MTV Generation Award in June 2007, making him the second Canadian to win the award (following [[Jim Carrey]] in 2006).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Adler|first1=Shawn|title=MTV Movie Awards To Honor Mike Myers With Generation Award; 'Now I'm Set,' He Says|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1560861/mtv-movie-awards-to-honor-mike-myers-with-generation-award-now-im-set-he-says/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409043239/http://www.mtv.com/news/1560861/mtv-movie-awards-to-honor-mike-myers-with-generation-award-now-im-set-he-says/|url-status=dead|archive-date=April 9, 2018|website=[[MTV]]|date=May 31, 2007|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref>

In 2008, Myers co-wrote, co-produced and starred in the poorly received ''[[The Love Guru]]'', and in 2009 had a minor role as British general Ed Fenech in [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]''.

In 2018, after an eight-year hiatus from feature films, Myers appeared in supporting roles in ''[[Terminal (film)|Terminal]]'' (2018)<ref>{{cite web|last1=Darby|first1=Luke|title=Mike Myers Filmed His Own Zombie Movie Between Takes for ''Terminal''|url=https://www.gq.com/story/mike-myers-zombie-movie-between-takes|work=[[GQ]]|date=April 5, 2018|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref> and ''[[Bohemian Rhapsody (film)|Bohemian Rhapsody]]'' (2018).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Desta|first1=Yohana|title=In Perfect Casting News, Mike Myers Is Joining ''Bohemian Rhapsody''|url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/09/mike-myers-bohemian-rhapsody|work=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]|date=September 12, 2017|access-date=April 8, 2018}}</ref>
