Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown,theBack to the Futurecast takes the audience through a thrilling time travel adventurethat features almost as much nail-biting jeopardy as it boasts comedic moments.

In 2002, Max actually took to the director’s chair as he made a short film calledSnap Shot. Obviously, he never actually madeJaws 19, as there hasn’t been another addition to the franchise since 1995’sCruel Jaws, which flopped. That being said,predicting that Max would follow in his father’s footsteps is still impressive, even if it did happen outside theJawsfranchise. Interestingly, Max was just four years old whenBack to the Future Part IIwas released.

Instead, he has been far more active in the video game industry, serving in various roles from graphic designer to game tester in big franchises likeAssassin’s CreedandMedal of Honor. His most recent movie credit was as an executive producer for 2022’sBanditstarring Mel Gibson, but he has largely stayed away from the career path teased byBack to the Future Part II.
