Grownup Kevin Faces Traps From Son

Macaulay Culkin shares an concept that he has for a brand new House Alone sequel. He famously performed eight-year-old Kevin McCallister within the all-time nice Christmas film, the place he’s by accident left at house by his household in the course of the holidays, and units traps to guard himself and the home from two robbers. Culkin reprised the position within the first sequel, House Alone 2: Misplaced in New York.

Throughout a cease on his “A Nostalgic Night time with Macaulay Culkin” tour, Culkin now reveals that he’s open to a brand new House Alone sequel that “must be excellent.” Culkin shars that he has his personal concept for a sequel that will contain an grownup Kevin being locked out of the home and dealing with traps from his personal son. Try his feedback under:

I’m both a widower or a divorcee. I’m elevating a child and all that stuff. I’m working actually arduous, and I’m probably not paying sufficient consideration and the child is form of getting miffed at me, after which I get locked out. [Kevin’s son] gained’t let me in… and he’s the one setting traps for me.

Culkin expanded on the pitch by explaining that “the home is a few kind of metaphor for our relationship” and that Kevin has to ‘“get let again into son’s coronary heart’ form of deal. That’s the closest elevator pitch that I’ve. I’m not fully allergic to it, the fitting factor.”

This premise would primarily have Kevin tackle the position of the robbers, performed by Joe Pesci and Daniel Heard within the unique 1990 movie and within the Misplaced in New York sequel. Kevin would technically be the antagonist this time, though he could be far much less nefarious than Pesci and Heard’s characters, and the movie would seemingly culminate in a heartfelt reconciliation between father and son.

Whereas this may be the primary time Culkin has performed Kevin since 1992’s Misplaced in New York, there have been many different House Alone motion pictures within the years since then. There are a complete of six motion pictures within the franchise, with the opposite sequels being House Alone 3, House Alone 4, House Alone: The Vacation Heist, and House Candy House Alone.

Regardless of the franchise’s longevity, not one of the sequels have been as well-received or as well-liked as the primary two installments. A legacy sequel starring Culkin as Kevin for the primary time in over 30 years would inevitably generate extra pleasure than the opposite sequels have.

If Culkin’s sequel concept does occur, director Chris Columbus might not be on board for it, as he shared in August 2025 that he believed a House Alone reboot to be “a mistake to strive to return and recapture one thing we did 35 years in the past. I believe it must be left alone.” Columbus directed the unique film and Misplaced in New York.

Whereas Culkin remains to be finest recognized for taking part in Kevin in House Alone, he has starred in quite a lot of initiatives over time. His upcoming initiatives embrace Fallout season 2, set to premiere on December 17, as he joins the Prime Video’s hit collection in a recurring position that has remained underneath wraps.
