I know there is a 7 year age difference, but if they were the same age at the time of the movie is it better/worse/the same??

Are you kidding me?

Fox in that role is iconic.

How could it possibly be better with Bateman?

Bateman played Scott Howard in Teen Wolf Too...do you think he was better than when Fox played the role?

I don’t know. Jason Bateman didn’t really come into his own as an actor until he became an adult. Look at Teen Wolf Too. He wasn’t very good and he had the same experience as MJF (both had extensive runs on popular sitcoms).

Bateman is dryer and more a sarcastic straight man where Fox had a really undeniable charisma. It’s the reason Zemekis wanted him from the jump and quickly dumped Stoltz when Fox came available.

This is an impossible request. MJF is Back to the Future.

Yeah, if it wasn’t Fox it would have either been Stoltz or C Thomas Howell..

So we are going to have a movie where a character goes back to 1985 and accidentally almost fricks his mom.

Then a sequel when he goes to 2045 to stop his kid from doing something stupid.

Then a sequel to go back to 2015.
