Star actors Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox, who played Doc Brown and Marty respectively, sat in the Javit’s Centre in New York for the Comic Con festival to join in on the panel conversation about the film trilogy.

Neither of them knew what their favourite food from New York was, and then got onto the topic of Broadway and how the film has been adapted into a musical.
Only in July did Christopher and co-stars Claudia Wells, Frances Lee McCain, Donald Fullilove and screenwriter Bob Gale join cast members at the Adelphi Theatre in London.
In a humorous moment, the pair were asked about if they took anything from the film sets, with Lloyd insisting that he doesn’t ‘do that’ but shortly after revealing that he has a t-shirt from the third film set.
He also adds that his wife, Lisa Loiacono, 52, does not like how it looks on him.
The biggest fans also took to the stage at one point in the panel, taking part in a costume contest with their creative 80’s film outfits.

Returning to New York City for another year, Comic Con has expected to have higher attendance levels than the previous two years, despite a mask mandate still in place at the event.
An estimated 200,000 fans will be making their way to Manhattan’s Jacob K. Javits Convention Center between October 6 and October 9.
Comic Con has ‘Mask Stewards’ wandering the halls supplying masks while they ‘ensure all individuals are wearing theirs,’ according to its website. It adds that those unwilling to comply with the mask mandate can be removed or banned from the event without a refund.
Team: Christopher and Michael J. Fox made up the iconic duo of Doc Brown and Mart McFly
In an October 3 tweet, the event said attendees can remove masks while taking photos. Despite this, many fans have been seen milling around the conference center without masks.
San Diego’s Comic Con, which drew about 135,000 attendees in July, also required its costumed fans to wear masks.
Some other famous faces have also been in attendance at the comic convention, including Jameela Jamil who had all eyes on her as she arrived at New York Comic Con on Saturday.
