Disney plans new Home Alone movie with potential Macaulay Culkin return

More than three decades after the original film's release, Disney is reportedly working on a new Home Alone movie that could see Macaulay Culkin return as Kevin McCallister. The project is in its very early stages, but sources suggest significant enthusiasm from Disney for the original star to reprise his iconic role.

It's in the early stages, very early. It's just an idea and it has practically gotten the green light from Disney.

While the film is still just an idea, industry insiders have expressed excitement. "It's in the early stages, very early. It's just an idea and it has practically gotten the green light from Disney," a source told People magazine. The same source added that the studio is very keen on Culkin's involvement, stating, "Disney loved the idea of Macaulay and everyone wants this to happen."

Disney loved the idea of Macaulay and everyone wants this to happen.

This potential sequel aligns with Culkin's own past discussions about continuing Kevin McCallister's story. He has previously shared a concept for a new installment that would explore Kevin's life as an adult. In his proposed storyline, Kevin would be a father, possibly widowed or divorced, struggling with work and neglecting his child. The twist would come when his own son uses similar traps to keep him out of the house, mirroring the original film's premise but from a different perspective.
