While he's not thrilled at the prospect of a potential reboot of the classic movie series, Fox also knows that's part of the business.

When it comes to a possible reboot of Back to the Future, Michael J. Fox doesn't have a problem... but he doesn't think it should happen, either.

For a recent cover story for Variety, Fox explained:


"I'm not a fanatical."
"Do what you want. It's your movie."
"I got paid already."

He added he doesn't think the film's director and writer Robert Zemeckis or co-writer Bob Gale would be on board, either.

"I think Bob and Bob have been really smart about that."
"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."

Fox also revealed it was possible there was Hollywood buzz about continuing the story at one point.

"I'm sure somebody thought about it."
"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."

People on social media agreed with Marty McFly on the matter—don't mess with perfection.











Fellow Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd acknowledged Fox's position on a reboot, but also wouldn't mind another run as Doc Brown.

"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."
"But if somebody has a brilliant idea that would justify a fourth film it might happen."

While you likely won't catch Fox in any new BttF films, you can see him in his documentary Still, in which he discusses everything from the beginning of his career, launch to fame and living with Parkinson's.

Still is available on Apple TV+.

People Share Purchases Under $20 That Made Their Lives Way Easier

Sometimes, in an effort to improve our lives in some capacity requires us to make a significant dent in our bank account.

Even though it might be yogurt for dinner for a few weeks after, we still feel good about our expensive purchases when we see the difference a high-powered washing machine makes, or feel the cool air from our upgraded air conditioner.

Man Goes Viral After 3D-Printing A 6-Pound Phone Case To Combat Screen Addiction

Many Millennials will remember back in the nineties as the last of the "latchkey kids" who were prominently babysat by their televisions, and the commercials that rolled out, made popular on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, promoting kids to go play outside instead of watching TV all day.

Now in 2025, videos on Instagram and TikTok encouraging people to "pause their scroll" and to "put down their phones" are becoming more common and popular, because people are realizing how detrimental our increasing screen time is to our emotional, physical, and psychological health.

Woman Sparks Heated Debate After Encouraging People To Smile At Walmart Greeters

There's an old saying that goes, "It costs nothing to be kind."

Smiling at a stranger, saying hi back to a young and socialable child, holding a door for someone, and maybe even exchanging a pleasantry or two at the checkout line costs nothing more than a few words passing our lips and showing a little kindness.
