What is the name of the 2002 film in which Beyoncé made her acting debut as Foxxy Cleopatra?

Beyoncé made her film acting debut as Foxxy Cleopatra in Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Released in 2002, Austin Powers in Goldmember is the third film in the Austin Powers comedy series, starring Mike Myers as the eccentric spy Austin Powers. Beyoncé played Foxxy Cleopatra, a glamorous secret agent and Austin’s partner in the story. The role also let her perform music connected to the film, including the song “Work It Out.”

The movie was directed by Jay Roach and features a cast that includes Myers, Beyoncé, Michael York, Robert Wagner, and Seth Green. Its plot parodies spy-film conventions while moving between the 1970s and the present day.

Beyoncé later appeared in more serious and dramatic roles, including Carmen in Carmen: A Hip Hopera and Deena Jones in Dreamgirls. Those later performances are sometimes mistakenly identified as her film debut, but Austin Powers in Goldmember came first.
