Christopher Lloyd plays Rick Sanchez in new Rick and Morty promo

Scratching a years-long itch

A brief new promo for Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty features Christopher Lloyd playing the titular Rick Sanchez, scratching an itch that has persisted for many fans since the show’s genesis as a Back to the Future spoof.

In the 14-second clip, we see Lloyd hop out of a portal and into his garage alongside Jaeden Martell (Knives Out, It), playing a pretty convincing Morty. Lloyd then does his best riff on Han Solo’s famous line from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with a signature Rick Sanchez belch added for good measure: “Morty, we’re home.”

Aside from an “aw, jeez” from Martell, that’s it. There’s no explicit mention of whether this is an allusion to a potential Lloyd cameo in Sunday’s season five finale, or if it’s just another quick one-off clip — which the showrunners have made a number of over the years. The clip is accompanied on Adult Swim’s various social media accounts by “C-132,” though, which is how different universes within the show are named. Rick and Morty’s main storyline takes place in universe C-137.

The Story Behind Christopher Lloyd's Live Action Rick and Morty Shorts

Last week Adult Swim released a short live action clip of Christopher Lloyd playing Rick from Rick and Morty, just a couple of days before its fifth season finale. Given the show’s frequent reality-bending and its multiverse full of Rick and Morty variants, it stood to reason that the clip was a preview of the finale—a glimpse at Rick and Morty entering into a dimension that wasn’t animated. Adult Swim proceeded to release two more live action clips starring Lloyd before the finale aired, both about as short as the first one, referencing specific episodes and moments from the show, including—yes—a pickle. When the finale aired on Sunday night, though, It became clear that the clips didn’t have anything to do with its story. They were simply made as promos for the show, built around the surefire virality of Rick Sanchez being brought to life by the beloved actor whose most famous role inspired the character to begin with.

Interested in how these shorts came together, Paste had an email exchange with Paul B. Cummings, their director. He had high praise for Lloyd, who came prepared, and also hints at more shorts with Lloyd that could eventually see the light of day.
