Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd are teasing something big that appears to be related to their beloved roles in the classic sci-fi adventure film trilogy, Back to the Future.
In a post on Instagram, Fox shared an image of him and Lloyd and referred to his character name, Doc, in the caption.
“Doc and I are up to something heavy… [Christopher Lloyd] should we spill it?” Fox wrote.
“[Michael J. Fox] There’s that word again. ‘Heavy.’ Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?” Lloyd replied, in a nod to an iconic bit of dialogue from the films.
Lloyd posted the same photo on his own Instagram account.
“Wait, don’t say anything yet [Michael J. Fox]. We’ve still got time,” Lloyd wrote.
It didn’t take long for people on Twitter to speculate this may be a dreaded announcement of a crypto-currency digital collectible product, known as a non-fungible token, with the Back to the Future branding.
But before you jump on the NFT hate train just yet, which Twitter loves to do, there is a tell-tale sign all of this teasing may be for an entirely different product. Over on Michael J. Fox’s stories on Instagram, he posted a link to a website, Back to the Future Shop. But he also tagged a brand called “@represent” on Instagram. According to Represent’s Instagram page, it is a clothing store.
Might this mean the self-lacing shoes or hoverboards seen in Back to the Future Part II might become a permanent part of our reality? Only time will tell.
