news culture “Do what you want. It’s your movie. I’ve already been paid…” According to this actor, a “Back to the Future” reboot is inevitable
There are a lot of reboots going on these days, and that probably won’t get past the 80’s cult movies.
Nowadays the restarts and other adaptations are extremely common in the cinema. Doing something new with the old has at least the advantage of bringing cult fiction closer to the younger generation and also giving the fans of the first hour a wave of nostalgia. Still, some reboots aren’t particularly appreciated by viewers who believe they’re not necessary. For example, you can quote the restart of Charlie’s Angel published in 2019, which received mostly negative reviews from the press, most notably averaging 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. Cult films and series from the 80s or 90s are often targeted in the reboot production, which does not please everyone, including the actors of the original titles.

Back to the future, an inevitable reboot?
It’s hard to miss the movies Back to the Future that marked the 80s. They are cult works that fill fans with nostalgia that they watch again and again despite the passage of time. In times of numerous reboots, actors have been asked what they think of the idea of a possible new Back to the Future updated. Nevertheless, Michael J Fox doesn’t seem too keen on the idea.
I’m not a fanatic. (…) Do what you want. it’s your movie I’ve already been paid. I don’t think that is necessary. (…) I don’t think you need to reboot because you want to clarify something. Will you find a better way to tell the story? I doubt.
—Michael J. Fox, in an interview for Variety
As for Christopher LloydHe seems a lot more receptive to the idea of a reboot.
I’d love to do a sequel, but I think Bob Zemeckis and Spielberg felt like they told the story in all three episodes. But if someone has a brilliant idea that would justify a fourth film, it could go ahead.
– Christopher Lloyd
Despite the actors’ opinions, these films do not seem to be ready for a return to the big screen. In 2020 however Tom Holland admitted he was willing to star in a reboot of the films, and more recently, a musical “Back to the Future” is being reimagined Broadway.
