Michael J Fox delivers his defintive verdict on rumored 'Back to the Future' reboot

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: We have some really upsetting news for all the 'Back to the Future' fans out there. There will be no reboot for the movie and that has been confirmed by Michael J Fox himself in an exclusive interview. Fox has been the highlight this year after his documentary ' A Michael J. Fox Movie' was released on Apple TV+. The documentary takes the audience through the life and career of Fox and his lifelong struggle with Parkinson's disease.

When the interviewer asked if there ever will be a reboot to 'Back to the Future' franchise, Fox said, "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," according to Variety. Michael also shared that he isn't 'fanatical' and has developed quite an open-minded attitude towards any new projects. "I'm not fanatical," he explained, "Do what you want. It's your movie. I got paid already."

'I would love to do a sequel'

Talking about the reboot, Christopher Lloyd shared that he would definitely love to come back as Doc Brown, but there are terms to it. He shared how he would be down to star in the sequel only if the script has the weight of narrating a powerful story. He shared, "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," Lloyd said. "But if somebody has a brilliant idea that would justify a fourth film it might happen."

There were many adventures in store for 'Back to the Future'

Die-hard fans of the franchise know that 'Back to the Future' ended with its third movie which was set in the late-1800s. The production gave a great farewell to the stories of lead characters Doc Brown and Marty McFly, but the franchise had too much potential to just end like that, considering the story could have led to many adventures. However, many fans point out that a fourth installment of the film was in the works, but that wasn't the case. When talking about the fourth installment, Fox shared his side of the story and said, "I'm sure somebody thought about it," Fox explained. "But I was in the early stages of Parkinson’s at that point, so I don’t know that I would have wanted to take that on. Right after 'Part Three' had done well, there might have been conversations about it, but I never got involved in them."

So, coming to a conclusion 'Back to the Future' have already seen its end with the third installment, but if there ever was a chance to bring in the fourth installment, we know Christopher Lloyd will surely jump to the opportunity to star in it.
