Can Back To The Future 4 Happen Without The Original Creators? Movie Rights & Future Explained

Back to the Future creators Rob Zemeckis and Bob Gale haven’t given audiences much hope for a Back to the Future 4, but is it possible the franchise could live on outside its creators? Rumors have been flying for years about another BTTF sequel, and audience interest in the prospect hasn’t diminished in the slightest over the years. While the original trilogy did wrap up Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc’s (Christopher Lloyd) respective arcs quite nicely, the franchise’s time-travel format allows for infinite story possibilities beyond what was shown in the trilogy, only fueling the flame of hope that another sequel could be made.
