Back to the Future is widely considered to be one of the best science-fiction films ever made. The film, released in 1985, garnered rave critical reviews and spawned a highly successful franchise that includes two sequels, an animated television series, theme park rides, and a stage musical.
Now, several decades later, the film's beloved stars, Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, have shared their opinions on the rumored possibility of a reboot.
Fox, who starred as the protagonist Marty McFly in the film revealed during a recent interview with Variety that he has no interest in returning for another film. Fox made it clear that he, along with the franchise's masterminds, director and writer Robert Zemeckis and co-writer Bob Gale, isn't keen on the idea of a reboot.
Fox's refusal to entertain the idea of a reboot stems from his belief that the story has already been brilliantly told. He stated, "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."
However, Lloyd, Fox's co-star who brought the eccentric Doc Brown to life, is of a different view. In an earlier interview with Yahoo Entertainment, he stated, "Maybe if somebody came up with an incredibly unique story for number four, but we've moved on a little bit. So I don't think that's gonna happen, but you never know."
