Michael J Fox doesn’t think Back to the Future needs a reboot

Michael J Fox has put the brakes on the idea of ​​booting up the DeLorean for more Back To The Future adventures.

The actor, 61, whose career and struggle with Parkinson’s disease is the focus of the documentary Still: A Michael J Fox Movie, told Variety he doesn’t think a reboot of the franchise is a good idea.

“I don’t think it needs to be rebooted, because are you going to clarify something? Are you going to find a better way to tell the story? I doubt it,” he said

Still, the star has taken a philosophical attitude towards new projects.

“I’m not fanatical,” he explained, “do what you want. It’s your movie. I’ve already been paid.’

The five-time Emmy was already the breakout star of the sitcom Family Ties when he was cast as teenage time traveler Marty McFly in Back to the Future in 1985.

It was a critical and commercial success, earning over $380 million at the box office worldwide.

He reprized the role and traveled forward in time in the second film which was panned by critics.

That didn’t stop fans from pouring into theaters to see it, making Back to the Future: Part II the third-highest-grossing film of 1989.

The actor played a dual role as Marty and his ancestor Seamus McFly in Back to the Future: Part III, traveling back to the Old West to save Christopher Lloyd’s Doc Brown from being murdered by a gunfighter.

Michael said that if director Robert Zemeckis, 71, and his co-writer Bob Gale, 71, had thought about a fourth chapter, he probably wouldn’t have been able to participate.

“I was in the early stages of Parkinson’s at the time, so I don’t know if I would have wanted to take that on,” he revealed.

“Right after ‘Part Three’ did well, there may have been conversations about it, but I never got involved.”
