There could be something there, if they tread new ground. Instead of Austin’s semi-misogynistic 60s free-love attitude being out of step with modern 90s sensibilities, you could have the over the top action tropes of the 90s come into conflict with gritty, realistic action sequences that have become popular in modern spy thrillers. Pair him up with a Daniel Craig/Jason Borne style spy; one of them is throat punching assassins in desperate, close combat fight scenes while the other is running casually through gunfire, judo-chopping goons. Might be fun.
