Back To The Future Part II's Story Only Happened Because One Original Cast Member Refused To Return

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِيتم التحقق من هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي كعضو.]

The reason why Back to the Future Part II is so dark is because one of the original movie’s key cast members refused to reprise his role in the sequel. Back to the Future Part II follows on from the cliffhanger ending of the first Back to the Future, as Doc Brown takes Marty McFly into the future to prevent his son from making a huge mistake. But then, it takes a grim turn when Doc and Marty return to a dystopian alternate version of the present.
