Back to the Future at 40: Creators Reaffirm No Fourth Film

VOX schedules Parts I–II on December 26 plus Part III on December 27 for the anniversary.

Overview

  • Screenwriter Bob Gale reiterated in April that a fourth movie will not happen, answering fans’ pleas with a firm “never.”
  • Director Robert Zemeckis opposes sequels, remakes or reboots while he and Gale hold the rights and has ruled out continuing without Michael J. Fox.
  • Michael J. Fox has stepped back from acting due to Parkinson’s disease, making a return as Marty McFly unlikely.
  • VOX airs the first two films on December 26 from 20:15, with Part III slated for December 27 at 22:00.
  • The 1985 original grossed about $392 million on a $19 million budget and viewers can stream Part I on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, with Part II available on Disney+.
