“Marty McFly in Back to the Future is the coolest teenager in cinema history. Watching him hug Christopher Lloyd like this is so beautiful.”
“Such a beautiful moment, Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd renuiniting at Comic Con,” someone else agreed.
A third person added: “I think it's safe to safe that today belongs to Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd. As It should do. It's a beautiful moment in time.”
It has been 37 years since the release of the first Back To The Future, which went on to have two sequels in 1989 and 1990.
The series saw Marty travelling through time in Doc's time machine, visiting 1955 to undo a major mistake that stopped his parents falling in love.
Following on from the movies, Michael was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s when he was just 29-years-old and has since campaigned for more research into the condition.
