There are many film and television casts who have remained close since their time working together, and it’s always a treat for fans. One such group of actors is the cast of Back to the Future, the beloved Robert Zemeckis film that was released back in 1985 and starred Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a teen who gets sent back in time to 1955 and must bring his parents together before he’s erased from existence. The movie also stars Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown, Lea Thompson as Loraine, and Thomas F. Wilson as Biff. The foursome recently reunited at Fan Expo Philadelphia and shared some sweet photos together.ย
“Can we get 88k likes? The past says so…,” Lloyd wrote on Twitter. Of course, this is referring to the fact that the time-traveling DeLorean needs to reach 88 miles per hour in order to go through time. “Great Scott!! We did it,” he later added. You can view the post below:

Michael J. Fox Addresses Back to the Future Reboot:
Back to the Futureย remains under the control of director Robert Zemeckis and writer Bob Gale, which is uncommon in Hollywood. The duo has long insisted that they have no interest in doing moreย Back to the Future projects, especially without Fox and Lloyd. However, in the age of reboots, it’s not surprising that the cast is being asked about the possibility of a Back to the Future revamp. Recently, Fox gave a great answer when asked about it.
“I’m not fanatical,” Fox toldย Variety. “Do what you want. It’s your movie. I got paid already.”
“I don’t think it needs to be,” Fox added. “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.”
The Bobs “have no plans or desires to make anotherย Back to the Futureย movie โ not aย Part IV, or a remake ofย Part 1. Nor does Universal or [producers] Amblin [Entertainment] have any such plans,” Gale told theย BTTFย website in aย 2010 interview. “How do we know? Because, per our contracts with these companies, noย Back to the Futureย sequel or remake can even be scripted without discussing it with us first. No such discussions have taken place. We are very proud of the trilogy as it stands and we want to leave it as is.”
While there are no plans for another Back to the Future film,ย Back to the Future: The Musical is currently playing on Broadway.ย
