The Back to the Future films have stopped at three, according to its co-creator, Bob Gale, who is instead focused on the musical.

Good, some things should be left as is and we have 3 to watch as it is.

Try not make 2025 full of remakes and reboots please Hollywood.

Back to the Future came out in 1985 when Christopher Lloyd was 47 years old.

Michael J. Fox is currently 63 years old. (Lloyd is 86).

That’s easy to write around, you just have new main characters and then Crispin Glover anyone who’s too old to come back for a cameo.

You write this comment, knowing that this was something that happened in BttF2, and yet you don't know what happened with the outcome of that decision?

In the past, the two Bobs said it would happen 'over their dead bodies' and MJF asked an interviewer who inquired about a sequel 'what would the new one do that we didn't already do? There's a beginning, a middle, and an end,'

i don’t think back to the future itself exhausted the time traveling idea, but it has been done to death in ~~movies~~ TV and film in general. it’s very hard to make any time traveling movie interesting these days, so there’s really no reason to make one at all, let alone tie it to BTTF except to cash in on the IP.

I agree, and the juice is so rarely worth the squeeze, often taking multiple failed attempts to even get a mediocre entry. Nostalgia is not always a sure-fire tool to make money, as I hope studios and media will take to heart (but probably won't).
