The Surprising Way Christopher Lloyd Wants Rick & Morty To Crossover With Back To The Future

Interviewed by The Illuminerdi at this year's Saturn Awards, "Back to the Future" alum Christopher Lloyd proposed that it might be easy for his famed '80s franchise to meet up with "Rick and Morty" since both sets of characters often find themselves unmoored in time and location. The actor shared, "I thought that maybe if Rick and Morty are out there in space somewhere and accidentally Doc and Marty are out there they could somehow meet," and went on to suggest the story could be good because "those are four characters that would be fun to watch and good writing."

It's not the first time that Lloyd has publicly mused about the connection between Rick, Morty, Doc, and Marty. While appearing in those "Rick and Morty" teaser trailers, he told Paul B. Cummings, who directed the commercials, that "he felt that Doc Brown and Rick Sanchez were like brothers that took two very different paths in life" (via Gizmodo). After a whole season of "Rick and Morty" focusing on Rick's past — and his adventures in the multiverse — Lloyd's insights feel especially on-point.
