The trailer begins with an overhead shot of Hill Valley, showing a mix of both familiar and modern elements, signaling that time has moved on since the events of the original trilogy. The iconic clock tower is still there, but now it sits next to new skyscrapers and futuristic technology. We hear the faint sound of Huey Lewis’s “The Power of Love,” slowly transitioning into a modern remix.
Cut to a suburban home where we see Tom Holland, playing Marty McFly Jr., looking through an old box of his father’s memorabilia—photos, the famous red vest, and, tucked beneath them, the “Save the Clock Tower” flyer. As he flips it over, he finds a handwritten note from Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), marked with today’s date. Suddenly, a loud knock on the door grabs his attention. Standing outside is a much older Doc Brown, looking frantic and disheveled.
“Your dad left us unfinished business,” Doc exclaims. “The timeline has been altered again, and it’s not just the past we’re dealing with this time—it’s the future too!”
We see a montage of scenes: Marty Jr. stepping into the DeLorean, now updated with new futuristic tech, the car roaring to life as it blasts through the streets. The trailer shows a blend of nostalgic moments—returning to 1985, revisiting key locations—and flashes of new settings, like a dystopian 2055 and an alternate 2025, where technology has run amok.
Quick cuts show intense action sequences: the DeLorean dodging laser beams, a chase scene on hoverboards, and a tense moment where Marty Jr. has to leap from a skyscraper to catch the flying car. We glimpse new characters, including a mysterious antagonist played by a well-known actor (suggesting a potential connection to the original Biff Tannen), and a brief appearance of an older Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), hinting at a critical role in guiding his son.
The trailer ends with Doc’s famous line, “Great Scott!” as the DeLorean is seen speeding toward an unknown destination in time, its flux capacitor glowing intensely. The screen cuts to black, and the words “Back to the Future 4: The Journey Continues” appear, along with a release date of Summer 2024.
The teaser leaves fans excited for a fresh take on the beloved franchise, blending the old with the new and promising another thrilling adventure through time.
