Tokyo Comic Convention Co., Ltd. (CEO: Takehiko Goto) is excited to announce the next wave of celebrity guests for Tokyo Comic Convention 2025 (“Tokyo Comic Con 2025”), taking place from Friday, December 5 to Sunday, December 7, 2025.

The Back to the Future Cast Reunites at Tokyo Comic Con!

On the 40th anniversary of the film’s release, Doc, Lorraine, Biff, and Jennifer are coming to Japan!

Following the announcements of Elijah Wood and Sean Astin, as well as Antony Starr and Karl Urban, Tokyo Comic Con 2025 now welcomes another legendary lineup: Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Tom Wilson, and Claudia Wells from Back to the Future!

(All four guests will attend throughout the convention and are scheduled to participate in photo sessions and autograph signings. Fans can also look forward to a special group photo opportunity with the cast in front of the iconic DeLorean! Details regarding photo and autograph ticket sales will be announced at a later date.)

At 87 years old, Christopher Lloyd remains a true legend of cinema, best known for his role as genius scientist “Doc” Brown in the Back to the Future trilogy and Uncle Fester in The Addams Family series. In recent years, he has continued to shine with appearances in the action film Nobody starring Bob Odenkirk, season 3 of The Mandalorian, and the upcoming season 2 of Wednesday. Following his memorable visit at Tokyo Comic Con 2024, his return promises another unforgettable experience for fans.

Lea Thompson, Tom Wilson, and Claudia Wells also brought unforgettable characters to life as Marty’s mother Lorraine McFly, his nemesis Biff Tannen, and his girlfriend Jennifer. Thompson continues to thrive both in front of and behind the camera, directing television dramas in addition to acting. Wilson remains active across multiple mediums, from live-action to voice acting in animation and games. Wells, after stepping away from acting for a time, returned in the 1990s and reprised her role as Jennifer in Back to the Future: The Game (2010), delighting fans worldwide.

Additionally, it has been announced that a limited number of signed portraits by Michael J. Fox (Marty McFly himself) will be available for purchase at the event. (Please note that Michael J. Fox will not be attending Tokyo Comic Con 2025.)

Remarkably, the original Japanese theatrical release of Back to the Future was on December 7, 40 years ago—the very closing day of Tokyo Comic Con 2025! Fans are invited to join in celebrating this milestone together at the event.
