‘Rick and Morty’ Live-Action Promo Features Christopher Lloyd as Rick Sanchez
Adult Swim has just released a live-action scene of Rick and Morty starring Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd as Rick, and It’s Jaeden Martell as Morty. Why is this so awesome? Well, for starters, Rick and Morty has never hidden the fact it’s heavily inspired by the Back to the Future franchise. Secondly, the scene’s name has a juicy Easter egg connecting it to Rick and Morty’s comic books.
In the scene released on Twitter, Lloyd comes out of a portal, followed by Martell. Lloyd then says, “Morty, we’re home,” belching in the middle of the sentence with his best Rick impression. It’s a brief scene where nothing major really happens, but we can still hope this is a secret tease for a full live-action episode. Lloyd’s Dr. Emmett Brown is one of the most iconic characters in movie history, inspiring a generation of time-traveling characters, including Rick. So, seeing the actor come back as Rick feels like we came full circle with the reference.
