Macaulay Culkin Pitches ‘Home Alone’ Legacy Sequel, Says He’d Return If It’s Right

On his live tour, he outlined a father–son twist, with no project announced.

Overview

  • Culkin said he is "not completely allergic" to playing Kevin McCallister again, stressing the story would need to be "just right."
  • His pitch envisions an adult Kevin, a widower or divorcee, locked out as his son refuses him entry and sets traps inside the house.
  • He described the booby-trapped home as a metaphor for a strained relationship, with Kevin trying to be let back into his son’s heart.
  • The concept drew strong, viral enthusiasm on social media, but no studio has announced development or a greenlight.
  • Culkin recently appeared as Kevin in a Home Instead ad for the film’s 35th anniversary, as original director Chris Columbus maintains the franchise should be left alone.
