Disney explores Home Alone reboot starring Macaulay Culkin

Disney is reportedly in talks to revive the 1990s "Home Alone" franchise with original star Macaulay Culkin. Sources say the studio sees a strong nostalgic appeal and is willing to support Culkin’s involvement, potentially offering him creative backing for a new project. Journalist Matt Belloni mentioned the possibility on the podcast The Town, noting that Disney is actively courting Culkin and considering a fresh title that builds on the first two films while avoiding a simple re‑hash. No official announcement has been made yet, but the discussions suggest Disney believes the reboot could be a major draw for the next decade.

The speculation follows recent appearances by Culkin on television, which have renewed public interest in his career and the classic holiday movies.
