Steve Martin Spotted Filming at Disneyland, Hints at “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit” Role

Anaheim, CA - September 1, 2025

Steve Martin, fresh off the milestone celebration of his 80th birthday, spent Monday back where his entertainment journey began: Disneyland. The celebrated comedian and actor was observed shooting a one-day scene inside the famed Magic Shop attraction, the very place where Martin worked as a teenage magician at age 15.

Martin’s return to the Magic Shop isn’t merely nostalgic. Speaking later at the Television Academy’s Televerse festival in Los Angeles, he dropped a tantalizing hint about an upcoming project. “I shot a little one-day scene at Disneyland on my birthday, August 14, two days ago, and it was in the Magic Shop where I worked when I was 15,” Martin told an audience gathered for an “Only Murders in the Building” Emmy FYC event. “I’m standing on the exact same stage, pulling from the headlines… there might even be an ‘Oswald the Lucky Rabbit’ gig in my future,” he teased, referencing Disney’s classic character linked to Walt Disney’s early years.

The sighting and Martin’s remarks suggest that Only Murders in the Building Season 5 will continue its tradition of blending true-crime parody with real-world locales and historic nods-this time honoring Disney’s own legacy. Producers have remained tight-lipped about further plot details, but Martin’s reference to “pulling from the headlines” aligns with hints that the new season will draw inspiration from contemporary news stories.

As fans await an official announcement, industry insiders say the Disney-filmed scene may mark the beginning of a broader collaboration between Martin’s hit series and Disney properties-a creative crossover that would unite two entertainment legends.
