Obviously, the nature of Marty McFly and Doc Brown's characters meant that the two lead actors in "Back to the Future" not only had to be quite a bit apart in age but they also had to have a great bond on the screen. Michael J. Fox was not the first pick for Marty; actor Eric Stoltz was cast first. But this recasting made movie history. While on a panel at the New York Comic Con (NYCC) in October 2022, Lloyd said they had "immediate chemistry," via The A.V. Club. With Lloyd turning 84 and Fox now in his 60s, they're still close over 30 years later. The New York Post reported that during 2022's NYCC, Fox told the audience that "the best part of the movie was working with Chris."

Decades later, in 2021, Lloyd told Looper that every time he sees Fox is a gift. "It's a thrill whenever we get together. He has just such a loving, wonderful sense of himself in his situation in time," Lloyd said. "Really, he just has a perspective, and a sense of humor about it, and a kind of joy. He loves being who is and being able to [show] it. For me, to be involved in this made all of us feel good about what we were doing, and why we were doing it."
