Great Scott! Back to the Future fans won’t want to miss October’s LA Comic Con, which will feature a special cast reunion. Stars of the beloved 1985 sci-fi comedy Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly), Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown), Lea Thompson (Lorraine Baines), and Thomas Wilson (Biff Tannen) will all take the stage for a special panel.
“The Back to the Future movies are pop culture classics that are as vibrant, funny and moving today as the day they premiered,” said Chris DeMoulin, CEO/GM of LA Comic Con parent company CEI.
The cast reunion will take place in a 1,000-seat auditorium on the second floor of the Los Angeles Convention Center. It will also be broadcast on the Main Stage on the main convention floor.
DeMoulin said LA Comic Con “jumped at the opportunity” to make this reunion happen.
“Every year, our job is to bring LA’s amazing fans a diverse lineup that will level up from previous years. This panel is a joy to announce, as Michael J. Fox is both an accomplished performer and an inspiring human, and we’re excited to celebrate one of his most iconic roles alongside his fellow legendary cast members,” added DeMoulin.
Outside of Back to the Future, Fox’s extensive screen credits include his long-running stint on the sitcom Family Ties, as well as his own series The Michael J. Fox Show. He’s also lent his voice to family franchises including Stuart Little, Atlantis, and Homeward Bound, and starred in the film Teen Wolf and the series The Good Wife.
In addition to Doc Brown, Lloyd has made a lasting cultural impression in a number of other roles. You’ll recognize him as Uncle Fester in The Addams Family films and the terrifying Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. He’s also lent his voice to cult favorites like Over the Garden Wall and Anastasia, and popped in for guest appearances on huge TV shows, including The Mandalorian, The West Wing, Fringe, and Hacks, to name a few.
Thompson’s credits include lengthy multi-season runs on shows like Switched at Birth and Caroline in the City. She recently appeared in Star Trek: Picard and The Goldbergs.
Wilson appeared in fan-favorite shows Freaks and Geeks as well as DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. He has also worked extensively as a voice actor on shows like DreamWorks Dragons, Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, Spidey and His Amazing Friends, and The Patrick Star Show.
