Macaulay Culkin, the iconic child star of the Home Alone franchise, has firmly denied any involvement in a rumoured reboot of the classic holiday film. Speculation had been swirling online that Disney was planning a modern revival of the 1990 hit, with some fans hoping for Culkin's return.
However, the actor set the record straight during a recent interview, stating, 'I'm not involved in any reboot. Those are just rumours.' His definitive response has left fans both relieved and disappointed, as many had hoped to see him reprise his role as Kevin McCallister.
Why the Rumours Started
The speculation gained traction after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, which owned the rights to Home Alone. With Disney's tendency to reboot nostalgic properties, fans assumed a new version was inevitable. Some even theorised that Culkin might return in a cameo or mentor role.
What's Next for the Franchise?
While Culkin won't be part of any potential reboot, Disney has not officially confirmed or denied development plans. The original Home Alone remains a holiday staple, and its legacy continues to thrive through streaming and annual TV broadcasts.
For now, fans will have to settle for rewatching Culkin's mischievous antics as Kevin McCallister—unless Disney surprises everyone with an unexpected announcement.
