Disney Has Met With Macaulay Culkin About New Home Alone Movie: Report
Sources say Disney is courting Macaulay Culkin for a reboot as Home Alone remains one of the studio’s top-streamed holiday franchises.
- On Tuesday, July 28, veteran entertainment journalist Matthew Belloni reported that Macaulay Culkin was spotted at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, to discuss a potential new Home Alone movie.
- Disney is aggressively courting Culkin for a reboot, viewing Home Alone as a top-streamed franchise that would be "gigantic" for the studio, Belloni reported.
- During an event last year, Culkin told the audience he was not "completely allergic" to reprising his role as Kevin McCallister, revealing he had an idea for a new sequel.
- While Belloni joked that Macaulay's brother Kieran Culkin is "the hot one" in Hollywood following an Oscar win, Disney is focusing efforts on securing Macaulay, offering him a passion project alongside the reboot.
- The Home Alone franchise has struggled to match its original success since Culkin's departure, with 2021's Home Sweet Home Alone failing to resonate with audiences as recent releases competed for attention.
