Macaulay Culkin lays out his idea for a 'Home Alone' sequel: 'It would have to be just right'

  • At the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center, Culkin described an elevator pitch for a Home Alone sequel and said he wouldn’t rule out returning as Kevin McCallister if the project is right.
  • Reimagining the protagonist, the pitch positions Kevin McCallister, adult version of the original character, as a widower or divorcee whose son locks him out, using the house as a relationship metaphor.
  • Culkin emphasized the idea is only an elevator pitch and noted he has not been formally approached, saying it would have to be just right to proceed.
  • A Culkin return could reshape interest in the Home Alone franchise by reigniting enthusiasm, but Chris Columbus warned against new entries, saying `It was a very special moment, and you can't really recapture that`.
  • Recognizing audience nostalgia, Culkin noted the series' nostalgic pull makes revisiting Kevin timely, while Home Sweet Home Alone , Disney+ reboot starring Archie Yates, received unfavourable reviews.
