Robert Zemeckis, the director and co-creator of Back to the Future, is shutting down the idea of remaking or creating a sequel to the franchise. In a new interview, the filmmaker revealed that he would only revisit the world he co-created with Bob Gale if he created a movie musical.

The filmmaker has long insisted that there would never be a Back to the Future 4 or a Back to the Future reboot or remake of his 1985 time-traveling comedy starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.

Rumors are teasing a new Back to the Future movie with Tom Holland as Marty McFly, but can they be believed? Speculation is building amongst fans that Back to the Future 4 could come to theaters in 2024, with Tom Holland playing the film's leading role.
