Overview
- Culkin told audiences he would consider returning as Kevin McCallister only if the project felt right.
- He outlined a potential story with an adult Kevin, widowed or divorced, overworked and locked out by his child, who sets traps as their strained relationship becomes the focus.
- He described the house as a metaphor for a father trying to win back his son’s heart, shifting the premise from foiling burglars to repairing a family bond.
- During tour stops marking the film’s 35th anniversary, he shared that his young sons often watch Home Alone without realizing he played Kevin, though his older son recently noted a resemblance in a family photo.
- He recounted that his son sometimes claims to be Kevin and imitates the movie’s dance moves, while original director Chris Columbus has argued the franchise should be left alone after later reboots drew weak responses.
