Overview

• Columbus told Entertainment Tonight he has no intention of participating in any new Home Alone projects and believes the 1990 film should remain untouched.
• Macaulay Culkin has casually signaled he might return as Kevin McCallister for the right pay and script ideas, but no official offers or negotiations are underway.
• Since 1992 the franchise has expanded through four sequels and a 2021 Disney+ reboot, all of which drew lukewarm to negative critical responses.
• An R-rated spin-off titled Stoned Alone, announced in 2018 with Ryan Reynolds attached, stalled in development and never advanced to production.
• While critical of most remakes, Columbus praised serialized television adaptations as a format better suited for revisiting beloved stories.
