Macaulay Culkin might have already started laying the blueprint for his return to the Holiday blockbuster!

The iconic actor rose to fame for playing Kevin McCallister in the 1990 family Christmas film, “Home Alone,” and stole the hearts of millions around the globe. Behind-the-scenes arrangements may already be in the works for a reboot of the classic film.

Macaulay Culkin, in recent years, has expressed that he is open to returning to the nostalgic franchise that put his name in lights globally even after over three decades.

Is Macaulay Culkin Already Making Moves To Bring ‘Home Alone’ Back To Screens?

Culkin was reportedly seen at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California, to meet up with executives amd discuss a potential new “Home Alone” movie.

According to veteran entertainment journalist Matthew Belloni, who reportedly received a tip about the actor’s presence at the studio, Disney is beyond thrilled about Culkin’s ideas.

“I got a tip the other day that there was a very interesting sighting on the Disney lot: Macaulay Culkin was there. He’s talked about having an idea for a new ‘Home Alone,’ and Disney is like salivating,” Belloni shared on a recent episode of his “The Town” podcast.

He also claimed that Disney is going out of its way to offer Culkin another movie in addition to the holiday classic film. “They’re offering him another movie, like, he could do his own passion project if he could also do another ‘Home Alone’ and they have a good idea,” the podcaster shared.

Speaking further on his podcast, Belloni, who is a founding partner of the digital media company Puck, shared that a reboot of the classic film may not happen; however, he personally thinks it will, adding, “They are courting him like nobody’s business.”

Belloni also remarked that “Home Alone” is one of the top-streamed franchises every holiday season; hence, a reboot “would be gigantic” for the studio. In addition to his comments, the podcaster revealed that he had insider information about the ideas on the table for the reboot.

“I’ve talked to people who have heard it, and it’s a really good idea for a ‘Home Alone’ reboot with Macaulay Culkin,” he said after joking that the former child star’s brother, Kieran Culkin, should be “the hot one” in Hollywood currently. Belloni’s comment stemmed from the fact that Kieran just won an Oscar for his role in “A Real Pain” last year.

The Actor Previously Said Terms And Conditions Apply To His Return To The ‘Home Alone’ Franchise

Last year, during his event “A Nostalgic Night With Macaulay Culkin,” the TV star got candid about the possibility of returning to his iconic onscreen role after more than three decades.

He admitted to his fans that he is open to reprise his role as Kevin McCallister in another “Home Alone” sequel; however, there are conditions his return would largely depend on.

Culkin shared that the supposed sequel would have to meet a very high standard and “would have to be just right,” teasing one of his iconic lines in the film. As reported by The Blast, the actor disclosed some of his personal ideas for the film.

The 45-year-old shared that for his envisioned sequel, since Kevin is all grown up, he isn’t the one doing the locking out; rather, he is the one locked out of the house.

“I’m either a widower or a divorcé. I’m raising a kid… I’m working really hard, and I’m not paying enough attention, and the kid is getting miffed at me, and then I get locked out,” Culkin explained.

Culkin, who shares sons Dakota and Carson with his longtime partner, Brenda Song, revealed that his kids are still in the dark about his role as Kevin that made him a star.

This is not to say that they do not watch the movies, as he shared they watch them as a family and he enjoys seeing the films through his children’s eyes.

However, he is yet to drop the bombshell on them that their dad played Kevin in the classic films. “I try to keep the magic alive,” he said after sharing an instance of their conversation around the film as shared by The Blast. 

“They don’t even call it ‘Home Alone,’ they just say ‘Kevin. They’re like, ‘Wow, Kevin’s really funny.’ I go, ‘He’s also handsome, somebody that your mom might be into,'” Culkin recalled.

The actor’s oldest son is beginning to catch on, as Culkin recalled showing him an old family photo where Dakota pointed his young dad out and said, “That looks like Kevin.”

The ‘Home Alone’ reboot would definitely be missing an OG character, Kevin’s mother, played by Sara O’Hara. O’Hara passed away on January 30, 2026, after a brief illness at the age of 71.

After her death, Culkin took to social media, sharing an emotional tribute where he honored her legacy and the memories they shared during her lifetime.

The actor uploaded a throwback photo of himself and his on-screen “mama” from “Home Alone,” writing how much he wished they had more time to spend together. In a separate interview, the father of two shared that O’Hara’s death came as a shock to him because they had “unfinished business” to handle.

Even though he did not detail what the business entailed, he admitted that the news of her death hit him hard and close to home. The Blast also reported that Culkin remembered O’Hara for being supportive from the beginning of his career in the industry.
