Back to the Future Fans Wanting a Fourth Film? 'F**k You,' Says Co-Creator

Mar 31,25

Bob Gale, co-creator of the beloved science fiction franchise "Back to the Future," has a blunt message for fans eagerly awaiting a return of the series: "F**k you." In a candid interview with Yahoo, Gale, who wrote and produced all three films alongside Robert Zemeckis, firmly stated that there are no plans for a canonical continuation of the franchise. When asked about the possibility of a "Back to the Future 4," Gale's response was unequivocal: "And we say, ‘F**k you.’"

In an era where reboots and sequels are commonplace, with recent examples like "The Matrix Resurrections" and "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" receiving poor reviews, "Back to the Future" will seemingly remain anchored in the past. The original film, released in 1985, follows high school student Marty McFly as he is accidentally sent back in time by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown. While it became one of the most iconic sci-fi films ever, its sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, did not fare as well critically.

Despite the absence of new films for over three decades, the franchise continues to thrive through its enduring legacy and influence. It has also expanded into other mediums, including a Broadway musical. Gale revealed plans for a stage production on Royal Caribbean Cruises and mentioned his collaboration with Michael J. Fox, the actor who played Marty McFly, on a book about Fox's experiences.
