Macaulay Culkin Floats ‘Home Alone’ Sequel Idea With Adult Kevin as Single Dad

He says he would return only if the story is "just right," with no project currently in development.

Overview

  • On his A Nostalgic Night tour, Culkin outlined an elevator pitch where Kevin is a widower or divorcee whose son locks him out and sets traps, with the house symbolizing their strained relationship.
  • Culkin said he "wouldn’t be completely allergic" to reprising Kevin McCallister, stressing that any sequel would need to be handled carefully.
  • Outlets citing Variety report there is no script, studio attachment, or greenlight, and the idea remains an informal concept.
  • Original director Chris Columbus has cautioned against revisiting the franchise, saying the first film’s specific magic cannot be recaptured.
  • Disney controls the series and the movies stream on Disney+, and Culkin is currently engaging fans on tour with a Dec. 6 Rochester screening event marking the original’s 35th anniversary.
