Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Although nothing has been officially confirmed, there is constant speculation about a potential remake of Back to the Future, and here are 10 actors who would be perfect to cast as Doc Brown in the film. Doc Brown is one of Back to the Future's two main characters, and with him being the zanier counterpart to Marty McFly, nailing the wacky inventor is important.
Related Recasting Marty McFly For A Back To The Future Remake: 10 Perfect Actors That Aren't Tom Holland While many fans have called for Tom Holland to play Marty McFly in a Back to the Future remake, he isn't necessarily the best choice for the role. Colman Domingo's roles in different period pieces show that he can nail an important aspect of Doc Brown, as he knows how to tailor his performances to fit entirely different eras. Rustin takes place in the 1960s, Candyman takes place in the modern day, Fear the Walking Dead takes place in an alternate version of the 2010s, and The Color Purple takes place from the 1900s to the 1940s.
One of the signature traits of Jim Cummings' performances is that he plays stressed, high-strung characters who typically explode at some point in the film, allowing him to show off his theatrical energy. Throughout the Back to the Future trilogy, Doc Brown is constantly stressed about destroying the space-time continuum, leading to his outbursts. Cummings would be able to pull off this as well as the warmth that the character occasionally shows and his deadpan comedy.
Although Howerton has appeared in films before, he had his big movie break in 2023's Blackberry, with Glenn Howerton garnering some awards season buzz for his role in the film. Letting the actor take a swing at Doc Brown in the Back to the Future remake would allow him to further expand his range while also bringing some major starpower to the film.
