Co-Creator's Blunt Response to Fans Demanding Fourth 'Back to the Future' Film

Author : Mia May 22,2025

Bob Gale, co-creator of the beloved science fiction franchise *Back to the Future*, has a blunt message for fans hoping for the return of the iconic 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.

"People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?'" Gale remarked backstage at the Saturn Awards. "And we say, ‘F**k you.'" This strong stance comes at a time when reboots and long-awaited sequels are commonplace in the film industry. Recent examples include *The Matrix Resurrections* and *Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny*, both of which were met with lukewarm receptions. Ironically, *Back to the Future* will remain firmly anchored in the past.

The original *Back to the Future* film, released in 1985, follows high school student Marty McFly, who is accidentally sent back in time by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown. It quickly became one of the most iconic sci-fi films of all time. However, its sequels, filmed and released consecutively in 1989 and 1990, did not receive the same level of acclaim.

Despite the absence of new films for over three decades, the franchise has continued to thrive through its lasting legacy and influence. It has also found new life in other forms, such as a Broadway musical. Gale revealed plans for a stage production on Royal Caribbean Cruises and mentioned that he is assisting Michael J. Fox, the actor who portrayed McFly, in writing a book about his experiences.
