Doc Brown couldn’t have predicted this response.

After being requested about the potential of a “Back to the Future 4,” Gale jokingly advised Yahoo Leisure, “People always say, ‘When are you going to do ‘Back to the Future 4?’ And we say, ‘F–k you.’”
The primary sci-fi flick, “Back to the Future,” premiered in 1985 adopted by “Back to the Future Part II” in 1989.
The 73-year-old famous that the trilogy has already impressed many spin-offs, together with a Broadway musical and a stage manufacturing on Royal Caribbean Cruises.

In 2023, Fox advised Selection that there’s no want for a fourth film or for a reboot, however joked: “Do what you want. It’s your movie. I got paid already.”
“I don’t think it needs to be,” the actor mused. “I think [Zemeckis has] been really smart about that. I don’t think it needs rebooting because are you going to clarify something? You’re going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it.”
“Back to the Future” will have a good time its fortieth anniversary in July.
Zemeckis appeared on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast and was requested if Common Photos begs him “every couple years” to make “Back to the Future 4.”

However Lloyd, who performed mad scientist Emmett “Doc” Brown, is extra open to reprise his function.
“I would love to do a sequel, but I think Bob Zemeckis and [producer Steven] Spielberg felt that they told the story in the three episodes,” the 86-year-old advised Selection in Could 2023. “But if somebody has a brilliant idea that would justify a fourth film it might happen.”
