"...[the] future Bill Gateses..."
I asked before about a quite similar sentence. I heard it on the "Purple Rivers" film with Jean Reno (in French version however).
So how would it be in English:
They teach there - at that university - the future ____ (Bill Gates in plural)
Would you consider "the" before "future" necessary in this sentence?
Thanks and have a nice weekend everyone.

I have watched that movie, and I like it a lot.
