Bob Gale, the co-creator of the beloved science fiction franchise "Back to the Future," has a blunt message for fans hoping for a return of the series: "F**k you." In an interview with Yahoo, the writer and producer of all three "Back to the Future" films, alongside co-creator Robert Zemeckis, firmly stated that there are no plans for a canonical continuation of the franchise. "People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4,'" Gale remarked backstage at the Saturn Awards. "And we say, ‘F**k you.'"

In an era where reboots and long-awaited sequels are commonplace in the film industry, with recent examples like "The Matrix Resurrections" and "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" receiving poor reviews, "Back to the Future" will seemingly, and ironically, remain firmly in 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. While the first film became one of the most iconic sci-fi movies of all time, its sequels, released in 1989 and 1990, did not receive the same acclaim.

Despite the absence of new films for over three decades, the franchise has continued to thrive through its legacy and influence, as well as through other mediums such as a Broadway musical. Gale also mentioned plans for a stage production for Royal Caribbean Cruises and teased that he is assisting Michael J. Fox, the actor who portrayed Marty McFly, in writing a book about his experiences.
