Back to the Future co-writer Bob Gale has poured ice water on fan hopes for another movie in the sci-fi trilogy,
The 68-year-old told the

In 2018,
Back to the Future topped a
poll of franchises movie fans would most like to see return, beating other long-dormant series including
Indiana Jones and
The Hunger Games.
Gale is currently promoting a musical adaptation of the original 1985
Back to the Future movie with Olly Dobson as Marty McFly and Roger Bart as Doc Brown.
He said that all involved have stood firm on the idea that Marty and the Doc should not return to the big screen.
Gale added: "We learn from the fact that so many studios have gone back to the well on some of their franchise properties too many times, and the audiences are disappointed and say: 'Oh my God, they ruined my childhood.'
"We don't want to ruin anybody's childhood, and doing a musical was the perfect way to give the public more
Back to the Future without messing up what has gone before."
Gale and Zemeckis have stood firm for years against the idea of rebooting
Back to the Future, or delivering a sequel to the original films.
Last year, Gale said that star Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease was “a hurdle that we can in no way get over”.
He added: “I can't imagine anybody wants to see a
Back to the Future movie that doesn't have Michael J. Fox.
“Michael J. Fox with his Parkinson's makes it impossible for him to be the grown-up version of the Marty McFly that we saw in the movie.
“I think the public wants to remember Michael J. Fox from before he had Parkinson's and it's kind of hard.”
