Joseph Gordon-Levitt if he would consider being in an "Angels in the Outfield " reboot. - "I like the idea, man," he said.

Disney has not been shy in dusting off its old films and rebooting them for its streaming service, Disney+.
From "Turner & Hooch" to a planned "Home Alone" reboot and the recently announced reimagining of "Doogie Howser," it seems anything is possible.
It got us thinking while talking to Joseph Gordon-Levitt recently: What would he think about being part of a reboot of the Disney classic he starred in, "Angels in the Outfield?"
"I like the idea, man," he said with a laugh to Insider while chatting about his new Apple TV+ show "Mr. Corman."
Back in his child actor days, the "Inception" star was the lead in the 1994 Disney release in which he plays a boy who prays for the worst team in baseball, the Angels, to win the pennant as he thinks that will get his family back together. An angel (Christopher Lloyd) then shows up to help make that happen.
Though there are no plans of a Disney+ reboot (that we know of), the movie did go on to have two made-for-TV sequels (1997's "Angels in the Endzone" and 2000's "Angels in the Infield") so it's not like Disney hasn't given it the franchise treatment.
Gordon-Levitt felt Disney should also get the other castmembers from the original movie involved, too.
"We'll have to call up Tony Danza, Danny Glover, and by the way Matthew McConaughey, [and] Adrien Brody. There were some good actors in that movie," he added.
That would be a heck of a cast for a reboot. But anything's possible with Disney.
