==Future==
Co-writer and director Robert Zemeckis, who has final rights to all films in the ''Back to the Future'' franchise{{Citation needed|date=February 2023}}, has stated that he will block all attempts to remake or reboot the original film. Co-writer Bob Gale commented that he did not wish to see another film in the series without the Marty McFly character nor any other actor than Michael J. Fox playing him, while acknowledging that Fox's [[Michael J. Fox#Parkinson's disease|current health condition]] would make this impossible. He illustrated this at a 2008 fan convention in Florida, stating: "The idea of making another ''Back to the Future'' movie without Michael J. Fox – you know, that's like saying, 'I'm going to cook you a steak dinner and I'm going to hold the beef.{{' "}}<ref>{{cite news | url= https://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/back-to-the-future/remake-sequel-robert-zemeckis/ | archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220112/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/back-to-the-future/remake-sequel-robert-zemeckis/ | archive-date=January 12, 2022 | url-access=subscription | url-status=live | title= Robert Zemeckis rules out Back to the Future remake | newspaper=The Telegraph | date=July 1, 2015 | access-date=July 7, 2015}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Gale also said that the [[Back to the Future: The Game|Telltale video-game adaptation]] is the closest thing to what a fourth film could be like.<ref>{{cite AV media |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBdXEDRQsaA |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/jBdXEDRQsaA| archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live| title=Back to the Future: The Game – 30th Anniversary Edition Trailer| date=September 29, 2015| work=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> In an interview on October 21, 2015, the day of [[Back to the Future Part II#Depiction of the future|Marty McFly's purported arrival in the future]], [[Christopher Lloyd]] stated that he would consider making a fourth film under the condition that the original cast and creative team returned, along with a story "worth telling".<ref>{{cite news | url= https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2015/10/21/back-to-the-future-30th-anniversary-christopher-lloyd/74175682 | title= Christopher Lloyd couldn't have foreseen this 'Future' | date= October 21, 2015 | work= [[USA Today]] | access-date= August 24, 2017 | archive-date= October 7, 2017 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171007170314/https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2015/10/21/back-to-the-future-30th-anniversary-christopher-lloyd/74175682/ | url-status= live}}</ref> The same day, Lloyd reprised his role as [[Emmett Brown|Doc Brown]] in a brief segment in which the character returns with a special message marking the 2015 date.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwL0HZSc2Sc |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/JwL0HZSc2Sc| archive-date=December 12, 2021 |url-status=live|title=The Future Is Now! - 10/21/15 – A Special Message From Doc Brown |author=Universal Pictures Home Entertainment |date=October 20, 2015 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://people.com/celebrity/doc-brown-returns-with-a-special-back-to-the-future-day-message/|title='The Future Has Finally Arrived': Doc Brown Returns With a Special 'Back to the Future' Day Message|last=Kimble|first=Lindsay|work=People|date= October 21, 2015|access-date=December 29, 2022}}</ref> In 2020, actor [[Tom Holland]] claimed in an interview with [[BBC Radio 1]] that he was approached by an unnamed producer over a possible reboot of the franchise with him starring the lead role as Marty McFly (or a similarly new character).
