Back to the Future 4

There is actually a couple ideas for this one that not going to talk much about since Michael J. Fox doesn't want to do another.

1.  Day after episode 3 ends - Marty wakes up like Tom Hanks in Big - it's been a day and he's 30 years older!  What's going on?  Calls up Doc, and Doc is so absent minded says something about that history was changed when they first went there.  2010 there is no such things as flying cars and the Cubs didn't win a world series.  Basically all the predictions that didn't come true proves that the future was rewritten and Marty is now the Marty from 30 years in the future...that no longer exists until Marty ages 30 years and becomes that person. 

Some "slap stick" could be marty seeing his hover board, says I'm too old for this, and just hits someone over the head with it.  Marty is just too old to be doing those kind of stunts.  He could even "borrow" a line from Lethal Weapon saying "I'm too old for this".

Doc and Marty have to figure out at what point something was altered changing the future and fix it.

2.  Doc needs help from Marty in 30 years from now.  Marty doesn't want anything to do with time travel anymore.  Having one Biff in his life is bad enough, doesn't need generations and generations of Biffs.  It was originally shown that Marty didn't want to keep the time machine.

But over the 30 years, Doc made some improvements...not only can he go into the past or the future, but he can also go to a new location.  He needs Martys help because something happens to Doc at some point in history and Doc can't go back and warn Doc.  Doc didn't want to know the future, but did to prevent his own death.  It would still probably be bad if he met a previous self at some point.  So, he needs Marty to go in time somewhere to rescue Doc, cuz otherwise the time machine would have never happened, nothing would have ever happened, etc.

Simple enough?  Well, someone entered the code wrong in the time machine, making Marty end up someplace without help.  Maybe back in the stone age.  No platanium in the stone age, no relatives of doc brown or marty, or any one of any kind of help.  The time machine isn't working, marty doesn't know how to fix it, and in the stone age.  Time to rewrite history.  In return of giving these people the "wheel" they get him to 88 mph and back to his time.

The only problem with this idea is Michael J Fox doesn't want any part of a new movie.  I think the actor who played Doc Brown wouldn't mind.  Can there be a back to the future without Marty?  Put him in as a cameo for one of the stone age men maybe?  Doc would have the knowledge to get back to his time, so he just needs to teach these people how to help him.
