Exclusive 'Back to the Future' Fan Experiences Are Coming to Fan Expo Chicago 2023 - What to Know

Back to the Future was a transformative step forward for science fiction following its release in 1980, and in its wake, left an immeasurable impact on pop culture. The cult classic explored the means of time travel and the live-altering implications it loomed overhead - including the possibility of ruining our realities before they can even happen. The success of Back to the Future remains to be a career highlight for talents such as Micheal J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, who have since still been celebrated for their lead roles in the sci-fi smash hit. Fan Expo HQ is known for its impressive guest rosters, though promises rarer opportunities for fans of the film that will take place exclusively at Fan Expo Chicago.


An Afternoon with the Cast of Back to the Future


Great Scott! Fan Expo Chicago 2023 is hosting a live Back to the Future cast reunion as a part of their convention programming. An Afternoon with the Cast of Back to the Future will reassemble the iconic leading cast - Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, and Tom Wilson - as they appear for an afternoon that's set to be filled with stories around the making of the Back to the Future saga. The cast will engage with fans while answering questions and speaking more about the film, its influence on entertainment media, their career paths, and more. General admission to An Afternoon with the Cast of Back to the Future is free to attend on a first-come, first-served basis for all badge holders, but Gold and Silver Tickets prioritize seating in the panel room. An Afternoon with the Cast of Back to the Future will take place on Sunday, August 13 at 2:00 p.m.


Ultimate Back to the Future Experience


Is seeing the cast in real-time not enough for you? The Ultimate Back to the Future Experience is an even greater way to commemorate your time at Fan Expo Chicago 2023.
