Bob Gale, co-creator of the iconic *Back to the Future* franchise, has a blunt message for fans yearning for a revival of the beloved sci-fi series: "F**k you." In a candid conversation with Yahoo, the writer and producer, who worked alongside Robert Zemeckis on all three films, firmly stated that there are no plans for a canonical continuation of the franchise. Speaking backstage at the Saturn Awards, Gale expressed his frustration with persistent questions about a potential *Back to the Future 4*, responding with a straightforward, "And we say, ‘F**k you.’"
While the film industry often sees reboots and long-awaited sequels, some of which have been poorly received, such as *The Matrix Resurrections* and *Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny*, *Back to the Future* seems destined to remain a cherished memory from the past. The original film, released in 1985, follows high school student Marty McFly as he is accidentally sent back in time by the eccentric scientist Doc Brown. It quickly became one of the most iconic sci-fi films ever made. However, its sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, did not achieve the same level of acclaim.
Despite the absence of new films for over three decades, the *Back to the Future* franchise continues to thrive through its lasting legacy and influence. It has also found new life in other forms, such as a Broadway musical. Gale mentioned his plans for a stage production for Royal Caribbean Cruises and hinted at his involvement in helping Michael J. Fox, the actor who played Marty McFly, write a book about his experiences.
