Rick Moranis May Return in Disney’s Honey, I Shrunk the Kids

Disney is hitting all the nostalgic buttons where the reboots coming to the streaming service. Along with The Mighty Ducks reboot, a Honey, I Shrunk The Kids reboot is also on the way. Unlike the Ghostbusters releasing this summer, Rick Moranis is reportedly in talks with Disney to join the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids reboot called Shrunk.

This may surprises many because Moranis has largely been out of the spotlight since the late 1990s. He has taken on voice roles, but he hasn’t starred in a live-action movie in over 20 years.

According to movieweb,

the actor is in talks to reprise the role of Wayne Szalinski, a scientist who accidentally shrinks his and two neighboring kids. He will reportedly star alongside Josh Gad, who will be playing Szalinski’s adult son Nick. The reboot is titled Shrunk and is being called a “legecyequel,” which means “it will exist in the same world and continue the overall storyline.”

It was originally thought that the reboot was going to end up on Disney+, but it is now believed to be a theatrical release.
