Back to the Future Fans Wanting a Fourth Film? 'F**k You,' Says Co-Creator

Bob Gale, co-creator of Back to the Future, has a blunt message for fans hoping for another installment: "F*** you."

In a recent interview with Yahoo, Gale, who worked alongside Robert Zemeckis on all three films, emphatically stated there are no plans for a canonical continuation of the beloved sci-fi franchise. Responding to persistent inquiries about a fourth film, Gale, speaking backstage at the Saturn Awards, declared, "People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4?’ And we say, ‘F*** you.’"

While reboots and sequels are prevalent in Hollywood, with mixed results (consider the reception of The Matrix Resurrections and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Back to the Future will, ironically, remain firmly rooted in its past.

The original 1985 film, featuring high school student Marty McFly's time-traveling misadventures with the eccentric Doc Brown, achieved iconic status. However, its sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, received less enthusiastic reviews.

Despite a three-decade absence of new films, the franchise's legacy endures, extending beyond its cultural impact to include a Broadway musical. Gale revealed plans for a stage production for Royal Caribbean Cruises and hinted at collaborating with Michael J. Fox on a book detailing the actor's experiences with the franchise.
