Macaulay Culkin Shares His Vision for a New Home Alone Sequel

Few holiday movies have left as lasting an impression as the original Home Alone, which catapulted Macaulay Culkin into stardom. After reprising his role in the 1992 follow-up set in New York City, Culkin has kept his distance from further sequels. However, recent comments from the actor suggest he’s not opposed to stepping back into the shoes of Kevin McCallister—if the story is right.

Open to a Comeback

During a recent public appearance, Culkin addressed the possibility of returning to the franchise that made him a household name. He made it clear that he’s not allergic to the idea of a comeback. In fact, he’s given it some serious thought, even going so far as to develop his own concept for a new installment. Rather than focusing on the familiar territory of burglars and booby traps, his pitch centers on the complex dynamics between a father and son, using the idea of traps as a metaphor for their relationship.

A New Direction for the Franchise

Culkin’s vision marks a significant departure from the slapstick antics that defined the original films. Instead, he imagines a story that explores emotional barriers and generational misunderstandings, offering a more mature take on the themes that resonated with audiences decades ago. While fans may be eager to see what’s next, there are currently no official announcements regarding future projects in the Home Alone universe.
