Yesterday, Disney+ released the first trailer for their Home Alone reboot, Home Sweet Home Alone. In the trailer, we get a confirmation that the new film exists in the same continuity as the original two Home Alone films, as Devin Ratray’s Buzz McCallister appears as a cop.
Sadly, Kevin McCallister himself, Macaulay Culkin will not be making a comeback to the franchise. Culkin took to Twitter to answer the many questions he’s been receiving since the trailer debuted. “Hey y’all. Just a heads up since I’ve been getting this question a lot today: I am NOT in the new Home Alone reboot. I wish all involved the best of luck though.”
